  1. A friend of mine told me a great life hack. She said to poke the Allen key through an elastic band or a condom while inserting it into the set screw. I tried the trick on one of set screws on my 688. It works like a hot damn. Less wobble.
  2. Okay I measured the key that I use and it’s a 1/16. It’s a bit on the loose side but it’s the only key that fits.
  3. I thought the size is .050, but if you tried 1/16 .063 and that’s too small, then I’ll pull out the micrometer and measure the key I use.
  4. I've been using a Craftsman rotary tool that's a rebranded Dremel for about 15 years. Accessories that I have are the flexible remote shaft system and the drill press for pc boards. The only problem that I've encountered are the brushes wore out and they were easily replaceable. Peter
  5. I've been using the maha c-800s for years. Slow charge the batteries when they get used and once in awhile I use the reconditioner charge mode. Batteries and charger are cheap and easy to get Peter
  6. Hi Everyone This was the kit that I used on my last project. 8 411 systems, 664 & a CL6, home made power distro and 130wh battery. My chiropractor loved it.
  7. Hers a short list of mics with some attributes 416 will last forever. Bp4073 on a budget Cs3e great problem solver Scheops cmit simply awesome. Good luck
  8. Hi gearhead917 In the srb menus there's a phase option. Check that first. Peter
  9. I've replaced the switch. Bought them from Lectrosonics 1-2 dollars a piece. You'll need patience, a soldering iron, solder wick and a sucker. Take pictures as you take it apart, mark the screw locations and go slow. Good luck
  10. I've bought coax with Sma ends in computer shops before. You have to be careful sometimes the connector has the reverse sma on it, meaning no centre pin in the connector. Also I've used paper clips. Good luck to your buddy
  11. Check the Lectrosonics website servo bias wiring. Frequently asked questions #70. Hope that helps Peter
  12. I'd use the wiring diagram of the Lectrosonics mc100xlr cable. Check out accessories at the lectro website. There's a complete diagram with resistor values. That's my two cents Peter
  13. Hi Cinetj I've had the same experience, except my transmitters were on sweaty hockey players. The condom on the transmitter broke. I guess they weren't invented for that kind of protection. Rubber gloves work very well, but are bulkier. Back to the transmitter. I cleaned them up as you did and mine have been fine. Good luck Peter
  14. In the Vancouver Olympics (OBS) Olympics Broadcast Services assigned frequencies, but only if the station or network applied for some. Good luck, I had a great time in 2010 Peter
  15. Hi Victor I run smqvs for talent. UM and LM for hops. My talent receivers are all 411a's and hops are srbs Peter
  16. Hi Chris An SRb will give you 2 discreet channels of audio provided your transmitters are on the same frequency block. The receiver has no internal batteries, so you'd have to power it externally. Lectro makes a device called the battsled that will power the SRb and give you audio outs. Check out the Lectro catalogue for mounting Accesories. The audio quality will be the same as a 401. Good luck Peter
  17. My harnesses have gotten pretty funky smelling over the years. I've run them thru the washing machine put in a mesh bag. Smell returns quickly. Finally I found a ice hockey shop that can wash hockey equipment. For 20 dollars you can fill the machine. I put my harnesses and hockey gear in. No more stench! Peter
  18. Hi Eric I was using the same setup using a factory mc35 cable, the factory tech said to drop the output to -10. Which he said was still considered line level. Every since everything has been fine. Peter
  19. Very nice indeed. Nice work Simon Peter
  20. I too make my own cables, but mine do not look that good! I'm not worthy. Nice work Peter
