[Rhodes22-list] progress

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Tom,
I wouldn't lose sleep over the archives issue.  Our Rhoadie skippers, with just a few exceptions, have enough patience with our fleet colleagues to address specific questions like this, even given that many are repeated.  Your picture says it all - you can see both pins are the same - Stan will probably not have a replacement, but can tell you where he gets the assembled 'car'.  In the interim, the boom will have to be moved up or down infrequently - I have never had to put mine into the lower position - use a #6 machine screw (or one with reasonable fit, including length) from HD to hold it in either position, until you can replace the pin.  Stan may be able to send you a replacement car for a cost.
R,
Art
