Having that gram scale in the vicinity of that DIY heroin smoking device is going to be hard to explain to any law enforcement officer that might happen to break your front door down within the next minute or so and haul you off to the nearest federal or state owned hoosgow!!! But at least you can tell the judge how good your antique phonograph sounded while you were being hauled off to your new living accomodations :-)

All the Exhibition reproducers that I've seen, the balance springs are mounted on the needle bar first, then onto the reproducer. This places the mounting of the balance springs underneath the needle bar _ more out of site. And really, those modern Philips screws, with a little effort you could source some proper slot screws. Anyways, what ever works I guess.
Thanks- and to be truthful, I didn’t pay attention to where or how those springs were attached, I should have paid closer attention. I actually did find the slotted screws and used them in the interest of authenticity as well as to satisfy my own OCD! One unfortunate thing is that one of the “knife” bearings was damaged preventing a secure seat into the groove of the needle bar. Granted, not absolutely perfect, but for ~107 years old, pretty good and functional. I’ll have a look at some others for comparison and make corrections.
@@Mark5W8Comer Yes, OCD, I'll spend many hours making sure all things match properly when working on my cars. Bolts, nuts, lock washers, all things have to be the same and correct as much as possible.
