Question about LBT Lead Hardness Tester

[Lawyerman]

I came into possession of one of these awhile back. I have the body and the little spring that "measures" the harness on the scale. BUT, There must be some kind of pin or something that holds the spring in place between the two "prongs" it rests between? That part is missing. Does anyone have a picture of the part I'm talking about or can describe it?

I'd just contact LBT directly.

My photo skills aren't too hot but on mine it looks like a pin going thru a small roller. The pin is "riveted" for lack of a better description so it wouldn't come out. No real way for me to measure things. Roller looks like brass to my uneducated eye.

Thanks Mike, I'm missing that little roller. I'll contact Veral and see if I can get one now that I know what I'm looking for

Lawyerman,

Did you have any luck with Veral? If not, I have the same tester and can make you the part you need. No charge, it would probably take me five minutes on the lathe.
