Dunno offhand, but the description makes me think of using a threaded set screw in place of the roll pin. It'd have to be a teensy screw though.

Do you have a picture of these early 601 doors? ? I'm trying to visualize these. Would like to learn more too.

However, there is a difference between an "early" early door and a "later" early door. The earliest doors have a "round" detent housing... 
...while later "square pad" doors had the "angled" detent housing like the rectangular pad doors. 
Based on the several samples I have on hand, the detents are all held in place by roll pins. 
Unfortunately, I don't know when the change from round to angled detent housings happened. The "later" square pad door shown loose above may have come off a 602. |

Of the several dozens I've had over the years, they all had the tension pin (roll pin). However keep in mind that some old sellers ,Jerry Drasen (Nesard, Sendra comes to mind) was known for making what he needed at a time when parts were not available. . But even that doesn't make sense as roll pins can be had at any hardware store for cheap.

I've had a few of the early ones, and I think they were original, since they came on 601 uppers. All of the ones I've seen had the roll pins...

Should we just post to those threads with this kind of info or post links to threads like this?

Like BW has said before it would be nice to have a Wiki. There is a lot of info that gets lost... example the in depth post a while back about the history of magazine contracts and development. |

You and me both KKid.
The retro board reminds me of that saying, I've forgotten more than I'll ever know. |
