In case the softening of the plastic is caused by oil
contamination,? soak the wheels overnight in Isopropyl alcohol,
then a good brush with an old toothbrush,? a final flush and dry
well before applying the glue

I would try to find
replacement drivers on eBay, either from a seller selling
Atlas steamer parts or buy a parts unit with the drivers
intact. If your drivers have actually gotten soft, which would
be caused by some substance that attacked them,like a non
plastic safe lubricant or solvent, gluing them probably won't
work permanently.

Greetings all!
I have an Atlas 1G Pacific I am
attempting to resurrect.
Upon disassembly, I notice the drivers
are made of a dark gray material and are
rather "soft".
They are so soft I fear they will not
stay in gauge once the unit is
reassembled.
Can anyone shed any light on this
matter?
Are they supposed to be soft like this
. . . if not, is there a cure?
I know this is a long shot, but are
there replacement drivers available or
does anyone have a set of drivers they
would sell or "loan"?
Thanks in advance.
Dan
