Pepper/ spice grinder parts

I'm looking for a source of parts for a working pepper / spice grinder.

Not the turned peppermill variety, the old fashioned box style with a
crank/handle on top.

I remember coming a across some a while back, but, I believe the were
intended for decorative /
display purposes only as the were relatively cheap Chinese knock-offs with
a lot of flash.

ThankX in advance,
Ron

The links that show a number starting wit "PK" are from Penn State
Industries. Google 'em ... they've got a decent catalog.

Lee Valley also has a coffee grinder (should work for spices, too) in
their catalog.

I've purchased several of these mechanisms to make several coffee
grinders. From what I can see of the mechanism, it seems fairly
coarse to me. Meaning, it has no problem grinding coffee beans,
but I don't think it would work that well for stuff that is smaller
than a coffee bean. The mechanism does have an adjustment to
adjust how fine of a grind you get, but I'm not sure if that would
help. Having said all this, I have not actually tried to grind
anything in it other than coffee beans.
