I figured this would take at least an hour or two but it was closer to 5 minutes. Some Remoil and my small hammer and it freed right up. Worked it back and forth for another minute or so and it works like new again. Took some photos showing what the various positions do No idea if this is how a real mine works or not as there are obviously pieces missing.
Seems to be a very wide margin of error also. Will it work if just inside the hash marks, does it have to be centered, does it have to be at the extreme? And what's with the "danger" section? Drop it and go boom?
