I'm going to tag onto Ken's post and also make a request for a couple of inches of Diamond 3/16" block chain. Alternatively, I can offer in trade an entire 3/16" Wipperman block chain for an equivalent 3/16" Diamond block chain. I am looking for Diamond brand specifically as it would be for my early Paramount, which I prefer to equip with USA-made equipment.

Tam - While I fully respect your preferences for Diamond, the Wippermann was listed as an option in the Paramount spec sheet, at least for '38. I'm grateful that Ted Ernst was able to sell me one when I restored my Paramount a couple of years ago. To paraphrase an old line, if a Wippermann showed up at my house offering to be used, I wouldn't throw it back out in the yard.
