Mark Conrad had them done. I have one of his tops on mine. He may have some left. The "hole" in the bottom of mine is about 7" wide and 6" tall. The scoop in mine is painted and gold trimmed like the grinder, so it may be original equipment, don't know. Look at page 986 in The Parker Story and you will see that all mills bigger than the #600 were set up for use of a scoop instead of a drawer. The scoop in the catalog picture of the #700 looks just like mine. Oddly, my big #900 mill, which is not pictured in TPS, is set up for a drawer rather than a scoop. Whoever owned my #900 before me made a very nice reproduction drawer for it.
