I've hit a big setback.... :evil: The insulated side of the geared driver has come out of quarter, or a better way to describe it,,,, Has completely come off the axle and now spins freely. This caused the plastic gear in the gear tower to strip, and while removing the driver to see what had happened, I broke the head of the screw that holds the eccentric crank the drivers pin. :x :evil: :o :!: :cry: 
That's the same one that I drilled and taped earlier. So I am back to square one with the drive,,, minus the pick ups. I have ordered a new tower but I need to find a way to lock the driver to the axle after I re-quarter it. I was thinking of cutting a keyway in the axle and wheel and insuring a piece of brass into it like is done on larger motors. I tried to locate a replacement driver but no good. so I will have to repair this one .
