Aeolian Vocalion Style R - Help needed !

Aeolian – Vocalion style R
Help needed - what is missing.

I had this machine transported to me and told the previous owner to remove the reproducer are and pack it up separately.
Is there a pin missing than fits into the Reproducer arm and then maybe a spring that connects the arm onto the base spindle (as in the picture where the screw driver shows the spindle is also spring loaded) I thought that this must be for the give and take of the movable reproducer arm.
Thanks

the screwdriver is pointing at the volume control. if you move the arrow-shaped dial to the left of the turntable, what you're pointing the screwdriver at should also move... the ones I've seen in the past had a small wooden or fabric ball attached to the tip which, when moved up into the tonearm base, softened the volume a bit.

The threaded holes at the base of the tonearm are for the the automatic shut-off mechanism.

Looks like you are missing both the volume ball and part of the shut off mechanism.

No worries, if the machine works it will play without these items.

Thank you both I appreciate that.
Does anyone have the missing parts or can list a picture of what is missing.
Many Thanks
