I'm not at home, but I will be late tonight...  I'll have to check the vintage, but I think it's 1970's or so.  It had the locking plate but no wedge. It looked very simple, just push it up, slide it on, and put in 2 screws.  Oh, yeah... no screws...

When I get home late, I'll look up the info and get a vintage.  Right now I'm going to go enjoy all that the French Quarter has to offer...  :-) Beignets anyone?

Regards,

Rob McCall

I am assuming that it does not have a cam since you asked for 'screws', more than one; which would made it fastened with two screws. The year of manufacture would determine whether it is a wood screw or a threaded to the head screw. Any #18 or 20 x 3" wood screw will work. A 2.25" screw would not clear the top plate of the lyre, that would be for the low-profile cam/button/wedge thingy. Have they gone back to that for the lyre?
