[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Yes, I know about this Bob.

Knowing how well I fumble things these days, let’s just say I’d like a replacement as a backup!

Then squirt a small amount of super glue in the crack, remove the toothpick.  It may be necessary to work a wedge in between the outer part and the part that goes on the shaft. Allow the glue to cure for 24 hrs or so.  Should be ready to go again.
