Hey, you are much closer to them than me :-) I didn't realize they were
in Australia until after. Anyway thanks for the heads up.

I just received four G9599 pager motors from Goldmine Electronics
however when I went to follow the tutorial on Beam-Online.com
(http://www.beam-online.com/Robots/Tutorials/Pager/pager.html),
to remove
the weight, it simply won't come off. Every time I try to use a paperclip
or pin, it bends before 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 rigid metal. Thanks in advance.
