Me too. Grandsons help me a lot too.

That epoxy around the needle on the Dolmars has been done a couple different ways.

I have not personally seen it but one guy was saying the epoxy was in a tube affair and you could cut the tube loose at the base and let it all swing to adjust?

There was another one whereby there was more or less a dam or built up place around both needles but these had both needles epoxied.

My 6421 had a steel pin in the rubber boot between the HS needle and the outside adjusting hole. I just took the boot out and removed the steel pin. Put it all back together.
We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
Be all that you can be . . .
