Question about a Slingerland three point strainer

[lucky]

Just scored a Slingerland 56-59 snare with a three point strainer. Anybody know if there is a washer that goes with the knob that attaches the extended handle to the arm on the throw?? That handle has s little play with the knob as tight as it can go. I know I can put a washer there but I want to keep it stock(OCD)!! I I'll try and post pics tomorrow.

Doesn't mention a washer...

[lucky]

Yeah, I scoured those, doesn't mention a washer! I though maybe someone might have this!

My Large badge (49-51) has a blued steel lock washer. Pretty sure original Understand the OCD on these things :-) Pic attached. Yikes, nothing like a close up picture to show that more cleaning/polishing is in order.

I haven't had any washers under the knob on any of my radio king three points.

Is the extrnded handle tight?

[vintagemore2000]

some of them have a tad of movement. make sure the edges of the arm that attaches to the three point aren't bent out

[lucky]

Yeah, they are good. I might just put a washer there. This is a 7x14 mahogany three ply, eight lug with clips, student radio king?? All nickle hardware. Ordered new heads and wires but man,even with the old heads and stretched out wires this thing is fatttttt!!

put a small lockwasher behind it if you need to, one is gonna see it.

My 40s RK did have a rusty small ordinary (not the lock type mentioned here) washer there. I actually lost it, I was quite frantic and devastated to lose what looked to be an original part but it did have a crack in it, I replaced it with a more modern one it looked just the same. Just use any suitably sized washer.
