the following page. They are selling 5 pagers (condition unknown) for
$5.

I just received four G9599 pager motors from Goldmine Electronics howev=
er when I went to follow the tutorial on Beam-Online.com (http://www.beam-o=
nline.com/Robots/Tutorials/Pager/pager.html), to remove the weight, it simp=
ly won't come off. Every time I try to use a paperclip or pin, it bends be=
fore there is enough pressure to slide the weight off. Has anyone had this=
same problem? If so how did you overcome it? The only other idea that I =
had was getting some tiny nails that are hopefully built out of a more rigi=
d metal. Thanks in advance.

What I do is cut the pin so that it is a lot shorter than =
it =

was previously.  Also, hold the weight with a pair of vice grips, at=
tach =

the pin to the weight with a bit of sticky tack, and then bash the pin wi=
th a =

hammer.  This worked for my weights but I believe that not all pager=
=

motors are created equal.  The pin should be less than half its orig=
inal =

length - just long enough to punch the shaft out of the weight.

Ma=

sure that the pager motor will then fall down onto something =
