[GreenKeys] Another Museum Piece-Parts Needed

Thu Nov 6 19:31:20 EST 2025

Duncan. That's it! The two pieces on top of the 0-120 scale that are 
held by the two rear screws on my unit are missing, however. Not a
big deal. If I can't find a replacement, I think I can make up pieces to 
reattach the scale.

Mystery solved. The difficult part is now to replace the bent/broken 
studs on the selector that holds the mechanism. Lots of tiny pieces to 
not drop.
73, John W1AN.
