This is going to be rough. I bought a type v transformer but the knobs were tight. When I loosened them, the two long knob shafts fell thru to the bottom of the transformer. Looking at Olsen's exploded view, the long shafts are straight for their entire length. It shows a very small clip on the bottom to keep it from being pulled back up thru the body. On mine, the long shafts look sort of like car valves and are obviously fed from the bottom into a recess on the body which may be held with some sort of spring clip probably about 7/8" round with protrusions to hold the shaft in. Anyone have any idea of my dilemma and what would be the actual lionel part # for this spring clip if in fact that is what holds it.
