Subject: [alt-beam] Best way to get rid of pager weights.
Just a quick post on a new way i found to get rid of pager weights.
The weights are usually a hard but brittle metal on the softer metal
motor shaft. If you stick the pager weight into a vice and crank it
tight really hard,
it just shatters (better wear some eye protection as bits go
everywhere).
This completely destroys the weight but does absolutely no damage
whatsoever to the motor shaft because the weight will shatter before it
will distort.

P.S. This email has been sent three times to the beam list but
unfortunately
has never been posted. I suspect this is because our list-op has an
automatic filter that prevents any emails with "remove" in the title,
not to
be sent to list as they are most likely meant for majordomo......is this
true list-op?
