I will only part with mine when I can no longer turn. But, you can buy a new one from Alan Lacer.
I agree on both counts. New Glaser screw chucks were unavailable for a while and i was down to two, so when Alan had them again I bought a spare for me and one for a good friend’s lathe with a smaller spindle thread. IMO, WELL worth the price. (The advantages of having more than one are if I have more than one project in progress or if a student or friend is turning in my shop.

Sorry I don’t have one to part with or I might trade for some wood or some artwork.
