"won" an old Ludwig Spur lock hi hat stand on ebay... it's a piece of junk although the seller stated it worked fine, "needs a little polishing" he wrote. He refunded my money but not the shipping. anyone know how to fix one of these? It's a little sticky going up and down...has a little hitch...when I put cymbals on it, it goes down but won't go up.....also needs sandblasting and not a little polish, but that's another story.

thanks
