[CW] Vibroplex Original Damper Wheel

[Valery Pakhomov via CW]

Hi Stan,

Logo of your BUG if it is produced in 1943 must read "833 Broadway New York.
N.Y."

  The 1943 Original I'm restoring has a damper wheel with flat head
  machine screw and a nut.

  This looks exactly like the Vibroplex site's mechanical drawing, just
  the three parts.

  I'm a bit confused here -- If I tighten down on the screw/bolt, the
  damper wheel won't have any play. If I don't tighten it, eventually it
  can loosen. This doesn't seem like a very good design and I'm afraid I'm
  missing something. Perhaps the Original model isn't supposed to have a
  "loose" damper wheel??

  I realize I can double up on the nut and/or use Locktite Blue but I'm
  curious to know if this is the actual design from 1943? Can someone with
  an Original take a quick look and let me know?

  Of all the bugs I've owned and operated over 50+ years, the Original is
  one bug I've never operated, owned or even taken a close look at ;-)

  Thank and 73,
  Stan WB2LQF
