Thank you for the information John. It does seem as though the index that was sold as NOS was in fact unused, even though it did not come in the hamilton envelope with the 667171 number on it :-) I agree you have to take NOS with a grain of salt and a bit of a gamble.

Hamilton electric 505 index wheel.
Does this have a pivot on the bottom or not?
