Another good guess. That wasn't a goof. I wasn't to that point yet. There is an ovious assembly mistake in the first photo.

Nope, but you're getting close. The clips are not required for the machine to operate correctly.

It would be much easier to put the headblock on if the W clips were installed first.

That's why I suspected you were merely being lazy.  So find the error. Hint: Something in the first picture is wrong. If you don't look at a 400 a lot, you'll not likely see it. I'm sure Martin saw it right away. It was not critical, but the machine could not work correctly as is was.

Well, it certainly wouldn't produce much of a signal without the headblock!
