The Missing Flat Spring Washer
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:20 am
Hello All,
I have an American JM tremolo ready for reassembly. In looking at Leo’s patent document there was a “flat spring”(44) washer located under the button(43) on the original sketch.
I have never seen one of these spring washers included on an instrument with these tremolos.
Did this spring washer ever make it onto a production tremolo?
Has anyone added it themselves?
I would imagine it would prevent the button & stop from rattling around in the non-operative position.
Thanks for any thoughts.
