Restoring a Grabow

Early this year, I bought a bunch of estates that included this Dr Grabow Viscount 101 patent.

Finally cleaned it up. Needs a better hand than mine to bring it all the way back, but it is looking okay. The main problem is the connection for the screw in stem. At some point it must have been torqued pretty good. When seated, it overturns by about 1/8th a turn. For now, I have created a space using 2 layers of painters tape. Does anyone have experience fixing this type of thing or maybe I just keep using tape?
