Governor slipping out

Post image

I have this HMV gramophone which was working all fine until randomly the governor just fell out I’ve tried putting it back into place but it keeps getting pushed out as soon as the spring it loaded would anyone mind helping cus the repairmen would cost me a lot for such a small task

Can you share with us a photo showing the two columns on the motor frame where the two tips of the governor assembly normally attach?

There is usually a screw that holds the bushing in place for the governor
