Dear list members,

At one time USMC or someone made a lock for the turntable on a
transhumeral prosthesis. I have a patient that would like one or
something similar installed in his new prosthesis. The normal friction
is not strong enough when he is fishing. I have made up an external one
in the past for a heavy equipment operator, but I am looking for
something internal if possible.
