Aeolian Duo Art spoolbox parts I have just taken on the full restoration of a 1/2 Duo Art. Unfortunately the owner has lost some small parts from the spoolbox, I would like to replace these with originals if possible:
The brass 'Metrostyle' pointer from the tempo dial.
At the driven end of the lower spool; the internal spring and pin.
The connecting rod from tracker pneumatic to tracker bar, threaded at one end, the other end flattened with a hole for the screw.
The long, small diameter brake spring from the transmission.
The long adjusting screw to the left hand end of the lower spool (for lateral adjustment of the spool).
I would be grateful for help in locating any or all of these.

Hi Steve,
I have parts from an American Aeolian DA spoolbox. I think they may be different though?
I do have a complete stack from a English made Aeolian Themodist model.
Let me know if you are interested.
The metrostyle pointer went to Dan in Aus.......

re:DA spool box parts I have a US nickel plated metrostyle pointer originally from a Steinway PEDA. After perhaps 80 years of ploughing up rolls, the tip remains sharp enough to kebab a hot glue sandwich.
While it's not brass, it could be re-plated? Unfortunately, I have no knurled nut to affix it to the tempo rod.
Let me know if you're interested.
