9Z WC2 question

[Verne Koester]

Richard,
It's a nylon/plastic gear. It was all the rage a few years back to do just 
what you're talking about. Most guys just filed a little deeper in between 
the teeth at the spot they wanted to hit consistently. I never did it myself 
as I didn't much care for that approach (too permanent). In any event, to 
get to the sticks in a 9Z, the main circuit board is in the way which means 
unplugging a bunch of ribbon connectors, removing a few screws, and removing 
it. If you've never had it out, I'd suggest diagramming the 4 or 5 similar 
connectors by color code so you can get it back together as intended. The 
other connectors are all different sizes so no-brainer there. The larger 
ribbon connectors have a little "snap bar" retainer on the top of the 
connector that needs to be gently pried back with a small screwdriver to 
release the ribbon. Once you have the board out of the way, you'll see the 
ratchet and it'll be obvious how it works. OTOH, the absolute safe route is 
to send the TX to Tony Stillman and let him know what you want....

Verne
