How to verify I have a jd2 #3 ?

[brewchief]

So some years back I bought a bender, I'm 99% it's a jd2 #3, or actually a copy. I don't have any dies and am now ready to buy some, how do I verify that it is indeed compatible with #3 dies, as I remember there are some others that are close but not the same( protools 105?)

The arms should be engraved jd2 right?
My m32 is but maybe it's too new.

don't post a picture or anything
that would be helpful

Center line to pinholes and width where the dies set would help you confirm it too.

It's actually a copy of a #3, I actually was able to look up the guy I bought it from and he was able to confirm it's the same as s #3

I bought a jd2 bender at estate sale years and years ago. It was a model 2. Everything from model 3 worked just the arms were a little thinner
