Hi,
Is there a way to tell if a traveling arm is an original or a reproduction? I have a Standard X that had a broken pin on the reproducer (reproduction), so I picked up another one at the Wayne show. The pin doesn't line up with the hole on the arm. I'd rather not re-drill the hole if it is an original part. I appreciate any suggestions you have.

Re: Standard X traveling arm question
Hi- No one else has weighed in so I'll give you my thoughts- To me it looks to be a reproduction-- The casting has some rough spots in places and the texture of the aluminum seems a bit rough- It may have been well-cleaned, but the color also suggests repro to me.
just my 2 cents.

Thanks Brad. That's what I was leaning towards, since the reproducer was a repro and the horn was repainted. I'll bore the hole out a little to get the pin to line up.
