I'm not near my Waterloo at the moment to check - and cant find confirmation online, but does anyone know which replacement saddle I'd need to drop straight in?

email Mark Althans - he'll probably send you one.

Cheers SM,

Like you, I'm in the UK, so a bit of a distance for a saddle, but I'll bop him an email.

I got my last saddle from graphtec. They have various sizes and should be able to find one that is a good fit

No such thing. Each saddle needs to be fettled into agreement with one particular - and only one - instrument.

Contact Bob Colosi - tell him you need a Collings saddle with a top 12" radius. You'll have to take a few thousands off the thickness and length and then round over the edges to fit it but it's very straightforward work. Then will come the work of dialing in the height - this is where a little more care comes into play to keep the saddle perpendicular with the sanding surface.

When I wanted a saddle for my WL-14 I called Collings in Austin, Texas. Collings customer service can send you a factory saddle for your Waterloo.
