They have 27 keeper plates in stock, minus the 3 she just ordered...

Thanks for the help, folks, I do appreciate it...

Good for you! I still have to look up what a keeper plate is.

It's the little half round piece of soft steel that slides into the
slot on top of the tailstock and engages the threads...
I think it's purpose is to prevent people like me from applying too
much pressure with the tailstock
