Anyone know how to safely dis- and re-assemble one of these?
I'd like to pop off the back cover so I can remove the manual/auto record level toggle (the better to keep it from sliding to the wrong setting, since I plan to always use manual...).
If it's anything like the SBM-1, the external slider is just pushing on a micro-slider that could probably be accessed with a very tiny screwdriver if later adjustment was necessary.
ain't no party like a katydid party
jumpin' and a hoppin' and singin' them songs!

This, but the adhesive on Gaffer's tape goes from perfect to gummy to dry and powdery over time. I'd highly recommend using a new piece every year or two.

Good time to change it then, before the tape goes.

I work for a production company that uses miles of the stuff. Cleaning gaff residue off of gear and cables is a job we give newbies. Elbow grease and a citrus cleaner.

Mine are duct taped. I NEEED gaff tape but its expensive as hell. I can get 3 x Rolls of KILLER duct tape from Sams Club for $12.00 that lasts me about 1 year. I roll of gaff tape is almost 30 bucks :( Guess with all the $$$$ I have invested in gear, I can splurge a lil for 1 roll of gaff tape :P ;D

I just got an M10...and I don't feel like these rear controls will need tape.....everything is nice and tight.....maybe cuz it's new...like a new gf.

Anyway..impressed with the size of this thing....coming from an HDp2..this is really sweet.

They are super sweet. I ran almost 40gb on each of my 2 M10's, and I changed batteries in them just once each ;D

You should be able to get it a lot cheaper than that.  Markertek has a huge supply of gaffer tape (and probably not even the best prices).  Here's one that half the price of what you've been finding:

http://www.markertek.com/Expendables/Gaffers-Tape-Adhesive/Gaffers-Tape/TecNec-Cables-Connectors/BGT-60.xhtml?TNGT-60

If I'm taping down tarps at Red Rocks, I use duct tape, but for taping-related stuff, it's gaffers tape.  This one above may be 3-4 times the price of duct tape, but a roll should last you a year, so it's only something like $10 a year more to use gaffers tape.  On a percentage basis, it's a lot more expensive than duct tape, but in actual cost, it's a drop in the bucket as this hobby goes.

RE: gaff vs duct

I've had some theaters squawk about taping a stand to newly carpeted/finished floors unless it is gaff and NOT duct...

Gaff is formulated not to leave adhesive behind, unless you leave it for years...
