I have seen some interesting homemade repairs on the less than collectable Parker’s. It’s my mental health therapy to take these in and return them to at least a good shooter. Today I found a tripless trip. Somebody did a decent job of copying a trip but created just the solid shape. No spring or pin. Needless to say the whole purpose of the three parts of a trip was defeated. Kinda like watching a documentary on the Caribbean and believing you were on a trip. Sort of but not really. Cheers Jack
