back in the days when I was young and did silly things, I usually get the "BOARD of Education" lesson....Here is a pic of it...  ;D

SirPeale:
Ah, I get it now.  Sounds like what happened to mine.

I just took JB Weld and wrapped it around the post to fix it.  Likely that's your best solution.

That is, IF it's what I think it is.  Can you post a couple pics?

nostrebor:
Yup, different problem than the Williams sticks. I have never laid eyes on one of these, so here is a shot in the dark (pics would be handy ;))

Is the block that the stick goes through substantial enough to drill through? You could chuck in a drill press, and drill oversize. Then sleeve the hole with a steel/bronze/delrin/etc. bushing. I would want the bushing to be an "interference" fit in the block, and the new hole would be a "slip" fit for the stick to rotate in. I took my stick to True Value and dug around in the hardware drawers until I found sleeves/slilck pins/etc. that would work, then I matched the drilled holes to the new parts.

OldSchool79:
Yeah I always imagined my cabinet would be invincible to children... oh, how I was wrong.

Fat_Trucker:
This for sale on ebay in the UK if its any help.
