Hello Larry, John,
Thanks much for this advice and the link to the prior postings. I tried to search, but didn't come up with anything.
And although I re-sponsored (only bronze) I find there are some features not accessible to me. I tried to attach photos and got a error message that "I have exceeded my quota". I reduced the size of the image....and got the same error message. I tried to email Shelly and got a message that the feature was "disabled".
The reason I wanted to remove the plastic medallion was to gain better access to the spring for the knight's head. Instead of drilling out the swaged rivets,I worked around that. I made a tool to twist and push the spring back onto the post of the knight's head. I took a dowel smaller than the spring coil diameter, cut a notch in it, captured the spring end and pushed it down onto the post. I wish I could post the picture. It's been 60 hours since I renewed my sponsorship...I'll try again after the holiday
