Anyone know the size of the pin used to hold the stylus on a

[collector60490]

I've seen two different sizes on the Internet...one claims the pin is .035  the other says it is .023   I'd like to buy a thin stainless steel rod to use to make these pins up for rebuilding a batch of reproducers but am not sure which of these sizes is correct.  I've also seen where some people have used sewing needles as pins, and just cut them to size.  Any ideas or suggestions would be most helpful!

One possible solution is to take a reproducer (with the stylus bar removed) to a local hobby shop or hardware store, and test various gauges of steel wire until you find something that fits properly.
