The key reason for its survival is that I drilled the center of the casting for a piece of .025 music wire. I soldered the target to the wire, and cut it long enough so it's embedded the full depth of the 3/4" plywood roadbed.

That's almost exactly what PBL recommends. The target/crank lever shaft is longer than necessary so that it can be 'planted' through a hole further into the layout top material. Since it's basically just me, I simply need to be careful and wear my glasses.
