"OLD-FASHIONED" CABINET IRONING BOARD

[krod]

I have a 1947 California beach-style home and am having great difficulty finding some place where I can get a "new" ironing board and some minor hardware for the pedestal. The cabinet's in great shape and the pedestal platform (in place) says "LH Eubank & Son Inglewood, CA" and "Patent 2174363." But I can't find a replacement ironing board or the piece which will keep the pedestal and ironing board in the horizontal position. Does anyone have a source for such items?
I've tracked down LH Eubank & Son. Their patent was in 1939 and the company is apparently defunct.

We have one of these with the ironing board and the attachement all of it if you are interested krod@att.net

I just removed one of these in a renovation. The metal base is in excellent condition. The board also.
I also located a downloadable of the original patent application, interesting stuff.
The board may or may not be original. The house I'm working on was built by a master carpenter sometime in the late 40's or early 50's, and based on what else I've discovered about his talents he may well have made the board.
In any event, it looks very good and works excellently.
I have no idea what it might be worth, but I'm willing to look at offers.
Also with the assembly is the black spring steel support that holds the board in the horizontal position.

Were you able to remove the ironing board without destroying the cabinet? I would like to convert it to a spice cabinet but don't know how to get the board out. It looks like I'll need to enlarge one of the holes that the board support pivots in until I can tip out the support. I'm just wondering if there's anything I haven't thought of.

just wondering if you were ever able to remove the metal piece without damaging wood. I am running into the same problem
