1. Terminals from left to right, intermediate, early and late.

The early ones would benefit from the Bakelite being a larger diameter, allowing more torque.

2. Previously sheared Q assy. on Model 7 with studding sharpened and araldited into rear, nut loctited in place and araldite blob across nut and spike. Star washer used. The low and medium resistance ranges will not work unless the spike makes contact with the leaf when Q knob is home. Q wiper must be set at correct orientation on reassembly and must not turn independently of the shaft (unlike P & R which can usually slip without consequence)
This repair works so far but is not recommended..
