Pity to cannibalise an instrument like that but realistically,
it's going to end in a landfill anyway.

Fine control of the pressure might prove challenging, though.
Perhaps placing the pills near the axis, where the travel is small
enough would work.

a time. Having neither, I prefer to have everything at hand (or
foot) and let the tape roll.
