In the middle of getting the Home B working again and I think something is missing here on the 2/4 conversion kit?
Course I need to redo the stripes and install the data plate but this thing won't stay in gear and whatever was here, is no longer.
Any ideas what to call it? Sorry for the noob question. I'm not familiar with conversion kits.

Re: Missing parts, trying to figure out what I need
Many years ago, after spending an afternoon adjusting one of these Amberol Attachments, I thought to myself, "Boy, I could do this much faster and easier now that I know how!" In anticipation of my declining years and the likelihood of my forgetting something, I scribbled out these tips, and I've used them a few times since. Hopefully they will be helpful to you in spite of their sloppy informality...

My method of making these adjustments is to send the upper works to Wyatt Marcus. He’s a genius at it.

Charles,
You're missing a set screw in that location. It may be a dog point set screw that's needed there. Also, 180 degrees from that set screw, there should be a small screw that holds a tiny "L" shaped piece. The ell should ride in the narrow groove at the end of the feedscrew. This controls the end play of the feedscrew.
Let me know of you need the thread size and I'll check it out for you.

The Phonograph Shop has the piece Jerry mentions.. I suspect Brian would have the screws as well-
