Yes, it does require a little luck. The pin popped out just enough so that I could grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers. However, after reassembly of the dial I still have the same problem. The dial still isn't free to turn. It wants to grab onto the band selector mask to turn with it. Holding the mask stationary the dial just wont turn with the vernier. I'm wondering if there is a gasket that is missing what would allow the dial to slip freely without grabbing the mask with it? From what I can tell from the parts list all parts are present though, even the thin wire spring in the collar that sits between the dial and mask. I'm thinking about fabricating a fiber or paper washer to be placed on each side of the mask to reduce friction.
