Hi Richard
     great looking sensor :)
 I have pondered the construction of a vertical sensor but have always thought they
 picked up too much local "people noise" to be really successful, particularly in
suburbia.  I wonder how you have found it ? maybe you have a reasonably quiet
location.
  going by the seismograms it obviously works very well

   I would like to see some more information on how your pivot is assembled, if
that is possible please :)  I just couldnt quite make it all out in the pic.

cheers

I built the same sensor from Kay's drawings and it is in operation at this IRIS site.
 
Here are some pictures of my sensor. You will notice some differences in the coil used and the attachment points of the music wire.
