There are those enclosures for handling hazardous materials or a
sand/beadblast cabinet could be utilized and those even have an outlet
tube
for recycling the media. That's where the paper cup would be placed to
catch
the miniature part(s).

Fairly often, when I can't find a particular item, it suddenly appears
when
I start looking for something different.

Build a 3-sided booth with an enclosed top, lined with sticky rodent/

Strong magnetic panels, same booth style.

I keep thinking of something sort of like a shower stall but with no
plumbing. Totally smooth walls, some part of them transparent, with
millions of lumens of lighting behind them. There has to be a door to
get in, but when you close it behind you, it fits so closely to the
wall
that you can't see the gap. (Reference the sphere that drops through
the rings of the machine in the movie "Contact".)

You go into this room or booth when you want to take something apart
that you suspect has tiny parts, or parts under thousands of pounds
of spring force. No matter where the part goes, it has to be
*somewhere* in the booth.

There are probably some thermal issues with it, though. (Humans
radiate a fair amount of heat.)

Very high speed video of the work area and "all ya gotta do is" play
back in slow motion.

When I first thought up that booth, this would have been insanely
expensive. Now it's down to just really expensive.

I assume people following this thread know of this circlip tip. Rarely
loose
one on removal as you can trap in the fingers. To avoid it springing off
on
fixing back the circlip , tie a piece of cotton to it and anchor it to
something, before replacing the circlip



A kind soul on here is now getting me a genuine replacement spring as he
deals directly with Dual. I had already decided that it was going to get a
bit of very fine copper wire wrapped around the middle of it and anchored
down somewhere, before I attempt to fit it ...
