I have found a picture of the ghost made during the engine run ups after joining the wing and fuselage. At that time, the bobweight is definitely not there.

The green circle marks where it would be visible. All that is there is the elevator control bellcrank upper arm.

A bobweight would mitigate the nose up input that occurred at the beginning of the accident.
