Greetings,
I picked up a Slingerland gold badge Sound King and the Zoomatic snare throw is missing some parts. I have attached a picture of what I do have as far as the throw is concerned.
I need the stud with knurled dial on it and the nut and washers that go on the inside of the shell. The nut and washers I could probably make do getting something from the hardware but I definitely need the adjustment knob stud piece.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks for your help!
Matt
Hi superclassic!
Going to be honest here. You're missing enough parts that you'd be better off finding a complete Zoomatic. Even if you found the required parts, you'll need a proper knob to attach to the reverse-threaded shaft. I've been able to repair these, but have already had the parts on hand.
The "stud with the knurled dial" is actually two pieces. The knurled knob is press-fitted onto the shaft. Once it comes off, you need to know how to attach another knob. I normally use a large Slingerland tone-control knob for this, drilled out with a 5mm bit.
Again, try to find a complete Zoomatic!

Thanks for your input Mark. That's what I was afraid of and I guess I'll have to keep my eyes out for a complete Zoomatic unit.
