WE 122W receiver disassembly

[JimNY]

Hi All,
I have a WE 122W receiver that came to me in non-working order. I want to attempt a repair.  The leads from the terminal posts to the magnet winding were broken off and taking things completely apart seem the best way to get a good look at the windings. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the magnet assembly out of the shell.
I have tried all the high tech stuff, heating, gentle tapping, bigger hammer, etc but it doesn't budge.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm assuming you removed the small rod that went into the little hole you see in picture one. The magnets are threaded into the shell, they turn counter clockwise out. If tight take a monkey wrench and fit to top of the metal coils and turn. That should let you turn it out.

Thank you for the reply. Yes the 'rod' has been removed.  I have seen the 'threads' in a picture posted here but for some reason thought they were just to aid a friction type fit. No wonder the hammer didn't work... lol

I appreciate the help!

clarification.. I observed the threads on the magnet assembly and not inside the shell. Apart, up close it is very obvious!

Can you post close up pictures of the receiver parts for future reference?

As requested.  I feel a bit dumb for not being able to figure this one out. However, the receiver is repaired so maybe not as dumb!
