<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our issue with that part was the end of the screw was not holding the rod tightly anymore. I used a tiny bit of moldable glue (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sugru.com/__;!!Mih3wA!XRZwYTK1SFFSyCuXiedM-KALAAQu3TMO5w1-bIutsBEhNgnX1WbeV4qnskVe_G39IA$">https://sugru.com/</a>) to build up this end and then it held the rod. I only
used this for 1-2 weeks while waiting for a new part to arrive so I cannot attest to the longevity of the fix.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am after a little trick, if anyone has one to replace the little black plastic screws that permit to retract the sample protection cover on a 626 holder. The Gatan rep in Australia charges more than $300 per screw …. There are two of
them plus a barrel in between. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone has a hack for this? <o:p></o:p></p>
