I replaced the starter button about 6 months ago, noticed one of the posts is not straight and whole post spins. She had been turning over slow when starting lately. Ordered one that looks more original. Anything besides starter button that could have been damaged? Thanks, Greg

I had been advised late last year by a very well respected '36 guy that the repop buttons are crap.
