[roughy (Mark)]

Help please!

At the end of the bolt that fastens the counterweight there is a brass bit "plunger?". Through the shafts diameter towards the bottom there is a hole.

While adjusting the balance of the scope I moved the counter weight across the hole and the little plunger slipped into it. Now I cannot move the weight nor get it off.

I have tapped, banged, shaken, tried blue tack and a modelling glue, stern looks and bad language, but am unable to get the little plunger out of the hole in the shaft.

Any advice please.
