I am trying to fix a Magnarc (Type F), the negative feed manual control knob has broken off at the insulator section.I have a spare one which I can put in but am having trouble removing the tapered pins as I do not have an appropriate tool. Is there an 'easy' way to do this, maybe disconnect it from the clutch end? or should I persevere with my hammer and old nail? I am worried about hitting it too hard and breaking something else. And what actually does that large magnet do? Any help greatly appreciated. Paul

Hey Paul, How are they going? I agree that the top glass thing is pretty cool, but the rest of the body is not so pleasing...couldn't they have used some other colour?

FrankLooks like you missed out on the $50 each for the 2 glass bits. One is fully operational but I haven't wired it in yet, the other is missing a couple of vital parts, I may need to come and visit you for spares if no one else has shown interest in them. Paul
