The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I took my eagle down to the garage tonight to finish greasing the spring (I ran out of grease last time). When I took it apart the first time, the little y shaped piece for the feed screw fell out. I seem to remember it being spring assisted? How does it go on? I got it back in the little assembly but it doesn’t mesh with the feed screw


I also cleaned the case and did one light coat of amber shellac.


Who/what supplier would have the screw I need to re-attach the reproducer? (I think it’s called a trunion screw?)

There's a little spring that keeps the half-nut ("Y-shaped piece") in contact with the feed screw. That little spring is easy to lose if you're not careful. Any of the following suppliers should be able to supply you with one, as well as the trunnion screw you need:

I may be able to find the little spring on my workbench. can you attach a picture of what it looks like?

UPDATE: the spring was under the newspaper on my workbench.
