Perhaps this has been thoroughly explored in the past, but I cannot find a definitive thread.
I have acquired a 1955 Conn 10m tenor. It is missing the set screws on the upper pillars of two rods. Functionality seems to be maintained. I understand that these screws function to hold the pivot screws in place, but other manufacturers do without this means completely. So my question is...why do I need to bother at all? Some have suggested using Loctite 222 to effect a solution. Would that be applied to the pivot screws themselves?
Thanks.
