Maroon Gem Half Nut Question
I have a Maroon Gem with the half nut assembly as shown below left. It is clearly missing the adjusting set screw. Is that set screw (or perhaps round head screw) a #5-40 machine screw? Also, do all Maroon Gems have that adjustment? I ask because when I compare it to my Model A Gem that machine has no adjustment screw nor the piece to hold it and it works just fine. Thoughts?

My Model D, Maroon Gem has the same adjustment. My Model C, Gem does not. Apparently, it was introduced with the Model D.Also, do all Maroon Gems have that adjustment?
