Title: Bands on A51-Tl Shockmounts Break
Post by: hoobash on December 23, 2003, 03:04:15 PM: I have had my TL's since july. When I was seting up to tape nassau I broke one of the bands on the shockmount. It came apart at the joint so its important to pay attention when seting up. The folks at adk where nice enough to send me a couple of replacements. I will now have a spare just in case. This is just a heads up for Tl owners they might want to score extra bands

Hasn't been a problem yet, though...

Post by: wsp12 on January 02, 2004, 08:40:15 PM: i just got a matched pair of A51tl's, and they were suppose to come with the supermounts, but they were out of them so they sent the regulars till they get'em in. But there were no extra bands they sent maybe because they are sending the supermounts, i don't know. Lee have you ran yours for anything yet? ;Dmike

Post by: JP Gerard on January 04, 2004, 01:42:17 PM: Hmmm... very weird.
I suggest you Email ADK from the ADK website and get some spares just in case, although all the shockmounts made after 2002 (should) have much thicker bands.
The last units that went through my hands had spare bands, and were rather thick.
