I spoke too soon. The third base arrived today, it is an Eclipse 903, and to my dismay I found that the button is seized. I have £6 invested in this, including postage, so it hardly seems worth returning it. Are these things able to be serviced? It appears that the label needs to be removed to get at it. Can anyone advise me before I set to with a bl**dy big 'ammer? |
| NormanV:
WD40 and my big rubber hammer fixed it! |

Soak the hell out of it with gun oil. That will free it up and dissolve some of the crud. Flush it with WD-40 and you should be good to go. |
| NormanV:
What's gun oil? |

You can probably use any light machine oil, sewing machine oil for example, as an alternative. Personally I wouldn't flush with WD40 - which leaves a residue which eventually goes sticky and gums things up. |
