Loosened my stubby that is-thanks Adamski for suggesting i give it regular wd40 -ing.It helped because i nipped the end of the red straw so i could push it between the join,i thought yeah this is turning and coming up but when i looked closer it was only the outer cover pulling up
-but it revealed part of the inner which i was able to unscrew using an 8mm spanner-all greased up and put back now :roll: (ive tried the radio-it still works
)
