New Webster Vibrato Arm!

[New Jersey]

I recently bought a green 65 Gretsch Viking that was missing the vibrato arm assembly, I asked for help on dimensions and pictures so I could make a reasonable replica.
Forrest Ball was willing to take his apart and photograph and measure the parts for me. This is a close replica of an original arm assembly. I may try to make another even closer to original when my new knurling wheel arrives. Thanks Forrest!
