Andrew, the item  in the pic is very similar to what was installed originally 
(and remains, working well) on my 33-2.  There are other parts also as there is 
a continuous line for controlling it.  (Memory vague - I don’t think much about 
it - it just works).  I tried to photograph it for you yesterday but the mast 
is in a rack and it was hard to get a useful image.  I’ll try again.
