I recently bought an electronic point control from 3bay knowing it’s vertical axel was snapped off at the box level. I thought it was fixable by bonding an old axel piece to it…. The box already had a small nail inserted, which I thought to remove, whoops I sheered another piece of black plastic from the spindle. But a separate part of the spindle is a magnet… I had also opened a manual switch to see the difference. The same part of the spindle as above was just a plastic, and AIO. I got to thinking that maybe I could modify the manual spindle…. Checking with another magnet on the original remote spindle, showed that each end was opposed, i.e left top was north, right top was south. I had some magnets from some dismantled hard drives so… I dremel’d two bits to fit, and voila…. Edit: I have since Modified a manual point to be automatic, please read below if you are interested....
