Well I tore up the solenoid trying to figure out the plunger deal. The
back plate was riveted (4) to the bakelight casing. Well I broke three
of the Solinoid bakelight thermoset plastic casing mounts to the back
plate, swung it open, and the plunger looks good to me - there is a
cork ring around the center base and aluminum mouting base plate. In
fact there's really not much you can do to this thing under the base
cover.

I'm looking at a round silver disc about the size of a silver dollar.
The center is cut away like it's a big washer in the center is a small
yellow piece of plastic with an electrical lead runing to it. Since
I've already busted the unit - I ain't messing with that small of a
electro magnetic plunger thingy - lookin for contacts etc. Way to
intricate if you ask me. Oh well on to the part store to pick up that
new solienoid.
