Quoted from mot:Would the best replacement be a mini-post like this with a T-nut?
Is there room for a T-nut, or will it be too close to the insert?
If not, the wood screw type of post will have a nice hardwood dowel to bite into.
Quoted from blownfuse:I hope there's a little of the screw sticking up through the playfield to hold the screw extractor in place. Otherwise you'll need to hold the drill firmly or the extractor can "walk" across the playfield and damage it.
A good nail punch will telegraph the location of the screw to the backside, if it's not already evident.
Quoted from boilerman:if the base of the post doesn't cover the the plug i use a ss washer that is just enough to cover the plug. never notice it with these single rubber posts.
If you do the washer trick, you could do the whole repair topside.
Quoted from erichill:My problem now is that the only pair of needle nose I have that fit into this tiny hole are some light duty ones I use for board repair.
Sears has the set of 3 locking needle nose, so they might have just the small one in store.
Quoted from erichill:Folks, I cannot tell you what a huge relief this is! To make it this far into a project and have something go so catastrophically awry - talk about a blow to your confidence! Thank you once again to everyone who shared their expertise on this thread. I could not have done it without you.
Congratulations, doctor!
