Title: stuck latcging switch and dented couppler. HELP! convention tomorrow.
Post by: AlthaxX on April 26, 2013, 12:39:08 PM
Hey, the latching switch on one of my dom V2's is stuck in the on position, is there any easy way to fix this?

Also I have a dent in one side of my couppler and I am unable to put my staff together. Im wondering if I sand the dent down will this allow me to fit it together.

I am going to Sci Fi on the rock tomorrow and my cotsume requires me to have a staff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I will post a pic f the couppler when I leave work today.

ThNks in advance

I had that happen with a latching switch unfortunately i had to replace it sorry i could not get it to unlatch without breaking the switch.  For the dented coupler prob need to see pics is it on the inside where the threads are?

I found a temp solution to the switch, i can use the retention key to unlatch the switch. that should be okay until after the con. not to figure out the couppler, i dont have access to a tap and di until monday

yeah that coupler isnt really repairable you can TRY to rethread it, likely better to buy a new one, in any case it will not be ready for the con

as a last resort i filed the dent out with a nail file and it worked perfectly!
