Hi Walt, Winsor and all,

I thought we had been over this a couple of weeks ago when somebody 
wrote that they needed to repair the DOF button mechanism, and were faced 
with the prospect of trying to remove the epoxy.

Well, I'm not going down that road. Whatever I do, it will be easier to take 
apart if the need arises. Rubber goo of some description holding a plastic (or 
something) disk in the hole is the way I'm headed next.

Cheers, Brian
