It followed me home…

…can I keep it?

Saw this while looking around at a local recycling/very-used-stuff place, got it for a song (and a -very- short one, at that).

At first examination, it appears that the only things missing are the ink plate and the rollers/trucks. Does anyone have the dimensions of those parts so I can make replacements? Some of the numbers I can get from other sites but still need to fill in the gaps.

(Kelsey Excelsior Mercury 5x8 Model U, ink plate rotates CW which I think makes it a newer one)
