[Heath] SB SHAFT COUPLER WANTED!!

[G3OOU at aol.com]

Hi Sandy
 
These couplers are usually over-tightened and they are not flexible so the  
strains on them over the years will cause fractures. If you can get any 
acrylic  pr Perspex rod of the correct outer diameter and know someone with a 
small model  makers lathe they are very easy to make. A small metal bush 
tightly fitted over  each end with a clearance hole for the grub screw would 
significantly improve  the strength.
 
You may be able to repair your broken one if you can get any acrylic glue.  
That is easily available in the UK made by Revell but following  an enquiry 
of mine, the manufacturer's US distributor confirmed  that they do not 
import it into the States and our post office will not accept  it in the post. 
Anyone visiting the UK may be able to take a 25g tube back with  them in 
their hold luggage?

Hi, folks,


Darn it, just had to happen...the plastic shaft coupler for the Tune  
control on my SB-102 is shot. I need another one that isn't cracked or broken  
around the setscrew threads. Does anyone on the List have one I could buy?  
Don't need the setscrews (I saved the old ones, HI) but don't mind if they're  
there!


Thanks, guys! 73,
