I have a couple of more 73s coming my way and saw in my 2 volume set on the 73 that there is a book called 1873 Handbook by Stone?  I have been doing some searching for any available copies and am coming up with squat.  Is this book worth hunting down?  Just curious.

Yes it does have some good information. George made dimensional drawing of many of the parts include screws. They are around. I didn’t see any on Ebay currently but one sold January 1 for $150. There is one for $60 on this web site.

Thank you as always.  I thought I had looked on there but I guess I missed it.

I had gone 10 pages deep on google a few days back.  Even tried the website that had the 2 volume 1873 book for 200 bucks last spring.  I found nada.  Thanks again for the help.

Thanks Bob.  I don’t own these.  Should have bought them when they were only $300.
