Edison Standard Model A - missing screw

[vhansen]

Hello. I’m new to this forum. I am restoring an Edison Standard Phonograph Model A (new style case). I need one tiny part to be finished.  The reproducer lift arm is the early kind with a lift lever & roller wheel that allows am to travel smoothly along straight edge. On mine, the screw pin that holds the roller wheel was broken inside the arm ( the threaded part of the screw pin was stuck in the arm & the rest was lying at bottom of case. I need to find a replacement screw pin - it’s ~3/8” total length, barrel shaft is 3 mm diam., thread is 2 mm diam. I’ve attached a photo of another model showing the roller wheel & a photo of my broken pin.

I have reached out to John Nagy but he doesn’t have one.  Any ideas? It doesn’t have to be an original screw pin - I just need something that will work. Without the roller wheel, the arm lays too heavily on the cylinder.

thanks!

I agree about him. Where did this pin come from on the machine?
