Looked inside and I think it's only missing a little pin or "key" to stop part of it from over tightening. Will post another picture of what I mean.
Antique store find. $15

The "key" goes in the brass piece in the center of the picture. Not very familiar with the parts in these. Kinda new to combination locks.

@Jerb322 There used to be a website called "wheelpost.com" that had a lot of older S&G manuals. Seems you may be able to still access it via Archive.com:

Might be able to find parts manual and instructions there. Patent number in your picture may also help:

Great links! Love the patent drawings. Hadn't noticed the serrated edges of the wheels before. A very interesting lock!
