CA with coils driven to plate

[A440A at aol.com]

<< There appears
to be a tiny bit of "daylight" between the coil and the plate at the front
of the pin and it seems possible that I could get a smallish syringe needle
in the gap to treat with CA. 

 My question is, has anyone ever had a similar situation where they had such
a tight access to treat the pinblock? If so, how successful were you and
what potential pitfalls are there? >>

      Erase the pitfalls by telling the customer that you will try a band-aid 
approach in lieu of the many thousands of dollars a proper repair would 
entail.  Make no promises. 
    Then, with the action protected, use a whole bottle of the thinnest "ZAP" 
Ca on the block if need be.  Just put the tip against the base of the pin and 
let the glue bead up at each pin before going to the next one.  I have seen 
it make a once treated block (Garfield's) suddenly feel secure and definite, so 
you may be in for a pleasant surprise.  

good luck,
