After trying to reassemble it I found two things: vane was stiff (wasn't before) and my twisty wire terminals didn't work so well (coil wire from the inside broke). So had to do some rethinking. Found some 2-56 screw/nuts from an old Command transmitter. These fit very nicely in the holes in the sm, add a little solder and now I have stationary terminals.
Adjusted the pivot tension on the vane and it seems ok. Vane has some white corrosion on it but I don't think I can get in cleaned up w/out breaking it.
Onward to reassembly! Again.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
