Imco button
Hey Bill, I recently purchased an Imco 11inch picklock with a missing button, can you give me some info as to how the original was attatched to the lever? Thanks, Hal

Re: Imco button
It was attached with lead solder.

Re: Imco button
I imagine so. The knife will have to be disassembled and reassembled.

Re: Imco button
The knife is disassembled now, should i just send the lever? also there is a small coil spring attached under the button, will that be a problem?

Re: Imco button
Send the whole knife. The coil spring is probably not original.

Re: Imco button
The scales are shot and i'll have to make new ones later if that won't effect your work. also can you give me a ball park estimate on the time and cost for the button repair?
