Transformer Thumb Screw just turns...won't open

[skippygp123]

I have a #1 Transformer with 3 posts. The variable voltage thumb screw turns and turns but won't "open" so I can put the connection wire under it to tighten it down. Any suggestions? Thanks! Ed

If the binding post is turning with the thumb nut, then the transformer will have to be opened and the binding post will need to be replaced.
