[Phono-L] Sonora question #1

I recently picked up a Sonora Elite with a wooden tone arm and lid support 
and am in the process of restoring it.  The lid support is broken at the 
bottom (I can send a picture or two, if anyone wants to see them) and I'm 
going to need to reproduce it, which shouldn't be a problem, but I'm 
wondering:  Should the hook at the bottom of the support (it's missing 
entirely on mine) face the front of the phonograph, or the back?  Would it 
have been made of wood like the support, or was it a separate metal piece?  
If the lid is fully raised and resting open on the support, exactly how high 
should the opening be at the front of the phonograph?  I welcome all 
opinions, and thank you in advance for them.
