Thorens TD-160 repair help

I recently bought a TD-160 at an estate sale without knowing much about them. Based on the minor research I did before purchasing, the price was right and I couldn't pass it up. However, I've since realized that the one I purchased is missing a spring or something in the anti-skate mechanism. For you Thorens aficionados, can you please take a look at the pic and advise me on parts/repairs to get this baby up and running. As it is right now, the needle scoots a bit on the record and I can't get a good tracking force.

Thanks, Tom. That mostly did the trick. I can now get the anti-skate assembly in the hole and tighten the screws, but when I turn the dial to or beyond the 0.5 on the bottom set of numbers, the whole assembly gets out of line and it won't go back in.
 
Wait... I just realized that one of the set screws is missing. Damn, damn. Where does one get that kind of thing?
