I got impatient... had several shaft couplers, none quite the right size. So I took one that was fractionally too small and tried to tap it onto the shaft normally attached to the fine focus control.
Loooong story short, I need a new shaft / knob assembly now. Ron from Moonlite is awesome and is replacing that for half the normal price, which is great. Apparently he's got special gear to get it all aligned properly again so he doesn't really just send out the parts, which means I unfortunately have to send it back to the US. Since I've been out of action for a little while due to having no LRGB filters and poor weather, I'll hold off for a bit as coarse focus still works fine.
Long story short even shorter: don't hit Moonlite's with hammers.
