Hello all...

I work with some older laboratory instrumentation and have been slowly, but steadily running out of a particular little part. This little beaded string couples a rolling numerical display to the drive system has become increasingly rare.

I've looked all over through google searches and had no luck in finding a supplier so I'm posting here looking for any suggestions. Considering where I'm posting though, I thought someone might have some ideas on how to fabricate something like this. The beads are 3mm in diameter plastic on a tightly woven string of some kind.

I have a mill and considered building some type of injection molding form, but that's as far as I've gone towards fabrication.

Thanks,
Ken
