I purchased a for-parts IKA 16 Overhead Stirrer and have decided to fix it up. It turns on, but sounds like it needs a new bearing, or possibly the
shaft is out of alignment.
Anyway, it came missing the chuck where you attach the stir rod.
Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one of these. Is there an "aftermarket" for this sort of equipment? I am sure I could find a
drill chuck that fits the shaft, it's just that I haven't officially started working on it yet.
Also, I can't seem to find any IKA RE 16 documentation on the web.

I had the same problem with a Wheaton overhead stirrer that I bought off eBay. What I ended up doing was buying a shaft adapter from McMaster-Carr
and a chuck from Ace Hardware. It's a little clunky but it does the job.
