How To Tighten Head On Turner Desk Mic ?

[Wire Weasel]

Hey guys, Just got a +3 in and the head is slightly loose. Anyone know how to tighten those up?

Thanks!

remove the silver disc at the rear of head and tighten the screw.

Hi Bob

Thanks. Do you have any experience doing this yourself? The Turner emblem disk on back looks like a thin aluminum-sheet label....covering an access hole, which makes sense, but how easy will that thing come off? Looks like I would need to pry under it with a fine knife blade and the thing is going to be damaged if not destroyed in the removal. Any tips?

TNX !!

I have the same issue with my Turner +3. The label will come off with an Xacto knife, but you have to be careful not to damage it. It might be easier to apply a little heat with a hair dryer to soften up the glue before trying to pry it off.

Thanks Mo I'll consider that. Just got this mic and it's in very good cosmetic condition and I plan on putting one of my Tweet Birds in it and using it as my full time mic. The head is only slightly loose and you know....it's not going anywhere, it just sits on the desk so I may just leave the head alone. It's not causing any problem. Don't want to jack it up any seeing as it's such great shape.

Thanks!

I did what bob and mole suggested a year ago and then added some shimming under the front of the head to elevate it.

the metal disc is a little bit thicker than you might be thinking.

just make sure you use a razor knife as was previously suggested, and work your way around the disc; diving in a little further with each time around.

i think its worth it to tighten the screw because loose screws in mics tend to make funny noises while you are keyed up.
