Chef's Choice M115 Linkage Pins Replacement

Introduction

If the sharpening stones become loose or do not apply the correct pressure to the knifes, this could be caused by either broken or missing linkage pins. These pins hold the sharpening stones in place on the motor axle. Replacing a broken or missing pin is a relatively easy process.

Where would you obtain new linkage pins. Can I use a similar gauged wire? What, and where can I find a suitable replacement?
