G&L f100 odd tremolo arm socket
I recently picked up an old f100 series II. It came with what I assume is the original case, which had some allen wrenches and a vibrato arm. The arm is threaded at the end, but the inside of the arm socket isn't threaded at all. It also doesn't have any sort of saddle hex screw lock like I've seen in other G&Ls with the dual fulcam bridge. The arm just falls out of the socket like nothing. Is there a way to keep the arm more snuggly fit in the socket, and did the hex lock come later? I'll try and get some pictures up, I've already taken off the neck and the neck stamp is an 83 and the body is 82.
