I've pretty much destroyed my dx-5, trying to use it as a host. I've cut off the front part of it, taken out the driver, destroyed the crystals and the diode. What do I do to get that stupid piece of metal out? (the thing that holds the crystal assembly and the diode)

The best luck i've had is take a screwdriver or a piece of metal, stick it through the back (where the driver used to be) and start ramming away in the garage ;) ;D

Or, put the host in a vise, take a long metal rod, put it through the front (aperature side) and take a hammer and start hitting the rod.
