Tom, any chance of a view of the front of it? Approximate dimensions? It looks pretty straightforward (even to me!) but I would need some details about how the knurl carriers are made and fitted into the body.

I think with the typical scissor style, you clamp down the main nut after establishing pattern tracking, so it puts equal pressure on both knurl wheels. The big $ toolpost kind like attached pic appears to do this same action with opposed threads on a tension knob.
But how do you set both knurl wheels the same depth simultaneously with what looks like independant screws or whatever on either side? Or is it a pre-set adjustment thing, then use the carriage feed in?

Mike,
The carriers just ride in slots cut in the main frame, capped by the "L" shaped pieces. If you look at the MSC link that Bill provided, you'll see an exploded view. The capacity is 2". None of the dimensions are very critical.
