Lyman D-7 parts question.

[Sitting Duck]

I've had the above scale tucked away for when I started reloading. That time has come. I'm sure I had everything for it when I put it away but the little dingus that raises the beam up , when not in use, has gone missing.

I would like to fab one until I can source a real one and am wondering what the little guy looks like. I know you guys are probably all hi-tech and all but hoping someone has one stuffed in a corner or something.

Picture and dimensions anyone?

I would buy an old D7 for parts if someone has one gathering dust.

Its a Hi-Tech part, a 1/4" diameter pin about 1-3/16" or maybe a bit longer. It rides on a cam to raise and lower it. You can make one with the unthreaded portion of a 1/4" bolt, screw, old 1/4" drill bit...about anything.

Thanks for the information. I'll whip one up.
