Here is a question, but it may have already been answered. Could a person save that center beam by removing it, and then saturating it with some type of super glue that would soak in and stabilize the part? Just trying to think of a way to minimize the replacement cost.

I thought about something similar, to treat the diecast pilots on my K-Line EP-5. These had a big problem with crumbling.  I managed to get replacements for them, but haven't checked them in quite a while. I had thought about using a small brush and brushing on a layer of JB Weld on the inside of the pilots to give them extra strength. Haven't done it yet, but I can't see that it would hurt anything to try it.
