The idea of taking a Magister apart really worries me, Deejay. It appears to be made of something close to WW2 era bakelite, which is chemically unstable: if it is bakelite, it is likely to fall to pieces if it is disturbed. Also, I have the impression from things Mal has said that there are more non-functional Magisters than functional ones. If Plymouthbel has one and it happens to be in working order, that might change if it is dismantled.
