Thank you Chris, yes I'm definitely going to offer this part as well as it's flat variation as they are both used on the interrogator droid and I'm slowly working on offering full kits for those they are the next Michel parts on my to do list

The top of the stick is the top of the Michell tone arm. Same piece is used a few times on the Death Star droid.
Maybe eethan can make some if the ejection handles are cast.
Michell refers to it as part 18 in the instructions. There's a stem to it which was inserted into the top of the ejection handle.
I don't have the part itself, only pics...

I was doing a bunch of one off parts today, so I also made a prototype for that part too, so you guys can see I mean business ahah

Ahah, well I did cut my long hair and shelve my leather boots a few years back, but yeah!
Thanks Danny, happy to help out with the small parts

Did you get any real pieces to measure from?
I double checked with a friend and the central core of the tone arm is 1 inch. Slightly bigger than the other tone arm piece you already make (Michell greeblie 1).

I actually used a drawing you posted quite a while back on page 5 but I indeed changed the diameter to 1" as it was saying 24.5mm on the drawing and I assumed 25.4mm was actually correct instead. I'm trying to get my hand on those real parts when possible but can't afford much so I'm always happy for help for measurements from original if possible
I'm mostly doing those small parts to help out, so any help is welcomed
cheers

I have a tone arm if you need any measurements.
