cruise control magnet

Ditto. Scraped the paint off the tailshaft, removed the double-sided tape off the magnets (if fitted), araldite the magnets on, then wrapped the wire around, and smeared araldite along the wire so it could not vibrate/fatigue in any way. Never had a problem after that on the old GQ.
Oh, and also checked that the pickup coil was not too close to the magnets - the tailshaft shakes around quite a bit and can knock against the pickup coil, with obvious results. Even araldite won't save the magnets if they hit the pickup. I recall a good cm gap was necessary.

Hi Viola,

I had the magnets attached by the cable tie, and it took one stone to snap the cable tie and the magnets eventually vibrated off. The replacement magnets I bought from Command had the wire to secure them to the shaft and this is more secure than the cable tie.

Just my opinion.
