Paul,
Does the "silvery indicator" return to center when the wheel is  returned?  
(the indicator goes on top)  From your post I would guess  you may not know 
that.  This is why I ask.  My stator tube was  broken just a little South of 
the 
control head and the broken end was buggered  sufficiently so as to make it 
difficult to remove the control head with the  little set screws out.  If the 
stator tube is broken the "silvery  indicator" will not return to center. 
If this is not the case,  I bet that drilling out that little  bugger of a 
set screw is only tightening it further because the drill is  turning in the 
tightening direction.  There is such a thing as a left hand  drill bit and you 
put the drill in reverse.  
That you can slide it from 3/16 to 7/16 tells me that it is not the  set 
screw that is the issue.  If it were, I would think it would not  move very 
much 
at all. 
 
Just my 2 Euros worth
