Thanks, Jimmy.
I bought an extractor and a rethread kit, I know have a 8-32 thumb screw. I am going to play around and hopefully get a better screw adjustment like you are describing. I am not a welder, but I'll track one of my machinists friends down and talk thru something. The thumb screw is a pest particularly when you are tying differents sizes like streamers and then wets. My fingers get chewed up after a while futzing with it. Has to be a better way.
Thanks for the post

I had the thumb screw break on my Renzetti also. What I did was go to
the hardware store and buy an "allen head" screw / bolt and took an
allen head wrench that fit into the screw and JB welded it into it and
left an "elbow" sticking out of the head. Sawed the elbow off about one
inch from screw and now have a nifty lever to use to tighten, instead of
the pesky thumb screw !
