WTB: Le Menestrel half-nut - Still Looking

[erunltd]

I am looking for a better photo of the Pathé Le Menestrel tracking half-nut that is
connected to the carriage with two screws. The half-nut may also be used
on other Pathé cylinder phonographs. If you have a tracking half-nut for
sale, that would be even better.

Thx

Hello! Isn’t this Harry? I saw you got this recently. I was the tall guy in the booth next to you at the APS Show in Buena Park last August. I have some pics for you. Let me know if you need more or different angles.

Thanks for the pic mike . . .

If you know the whereabouts of a half-nut, please let me know.
Did you get the photos from one you own? If yes, I might be
able to make one using the specs. A measurement of the curved
part would be most helpful. Thx again.

P.S. Of course I remember you.

Hello Harry,

Yes, it is my machine. Let me see what I can do when I get home from work tonight. Sorry, but don’t have any extra parts!

I apologize--too much happening right now. I'm away until after Mother's Day!

No hurry. Mom comes first!
You're young enough to still have one.

Thank you! Yes I do-she turns 90 next month and still lives in my childhood home with my 91 year old dad! I am blessed.

I don’t know how completely accurate my Harbor Freight Tools digital caliper is—but here it goes!
