I might have some other rods in a box of parts, I'll look later tonight.
More pics of the '75. I cleaned up the chassis a little bit. I had straightened that piece of metal that goes in the front about 90%, tried to improve it, and wound up screwing it up worse (it's very thin). Eventually, what I wound up doing is getting some of that stick on fake chrome they put on cars now, and cutting a piece to fit. It looks ok. I'm also trying to repair that spot (you can see it in primer) on the CRT mask, where it looked like someone dropped something on it that corroded the plastic. This seems to be a pretty low hour set, judging by the CRT. But it also seems as if it was stored in a damp basement underneath somebody's junk and chemicals. (I'm just repairing that one bad spot, there's other places where the cabinet is melted or scratched and it's not so noticeable. And the cabinet, particularly the back, was very dirty.)
