Remember my issue with the pull knob on a jib track breaking off? See the knob on the deck in the shadow?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_sb5TfIENvsWm0yY3FCT0x3TjA/view I had proposed several options. Option 1 worked. I put the slide under tension with a line to a winch in order to bind the pin to keep it from spinning. I then managed to carefully drill and tap the pull pin from the top. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsZ3lTUFhvRGRaMUk I then re-attached the knob with a machine screw. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsOUYzSnBHTExKSzQ The pin wouldn't lift all the way up due to some drill cuttings in the spring cavity. After a bit of coaxing, the slide slid off the T-track. For grins, I drilled and tapped deeper and "re-built" the slide. Here it is next to the replacement slide. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_sb5TfIENvsSk1BWXhSa0lPWW8 Not sure what I'll do with it. I wouldn't trust it. I might eBay it for cheap with a strong caveat. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
