SB-102 Shaft Coupling needed!! (58) #456-4 HELP!!

[Tom NØJMY]

I'm not exactly sure I understand your problem, Sandy, but if it 
involves stripped holes for set-screws, I just had a good tip given to 
me by Mike from the Heathkit Shop for that problem.

Try removing the set-screw, then take a single fine strand from a piece 
of stranded wire and put it through the threaded hole.  Now slip the 
coupler back on the shaft and install the set screw with the wire still 
in the hole.

I just did this to a hopelessly stripped out knob on a Ten-Tec Century 
21 and it's tight as a drum now.

If that doesn't work, give me a shout.  I might be able to scrounge up a 
coupler for you.

73,
