Looking an "Older Style" Unifence Cursor

I just broke my last Unifence Cursor. The illustration of the ones listed on eReplacements are not like mine. I'm assuming that I have an older style fence that required a slightly different cursor.

On the "newer style", the cursor is attached with vertical screws. On mine, the screws are horizontal - facing the front of the saw.

Does anyone either 1) have one of these - and is willing to sell it, or 2) know where it is available?

Thanks ...
Joel

Come to think of it, screws, nails, etc. may not come in those plastic containers, anymore. I may have used a fish hook container, back then.

That kind of clear plastic has gotten dull, cloudy looking, over time, so sometimes I have to look close to see my alignments, but it works just fine.

Make one. I have both the old and new Unifence. My old cursor broke, $9 +=
shipping for a replacement, 10-15 yrs ago. I made one out of a small plas=
tic box/container, the kind that holds screws, finishing nails, sewing pins=
, etc. Carve/trim the box to fit, score lines on the face for the referen=
ce marks, highlight the score marks with a pencil.

In this pic, mine was made from a fairly thick(?) walled container, similar=
to the sewing pin container, shown. The sewing pin container is kinna thi=
n walled, so search for a box with thick(?) walls & face. https://www.flic=

Can't you just take a piece of plexiglass or lexan?
Drill it, and scribe it. Once scribed use a red sharpie to fill the
scribe line.
