Thanks for that. I had thought about sleeving it but the pin has worn eccentrically (a bit like its owner) and the idea of filing it down, sleeving it and filling the gaps with solder is probably beyond my skills, plus you end up with the wrong bearing material as you point out. The action is hardly precise, so I shall live with it as is. Just me trying to be an engineer and see off my "inner bodger"!
