Quick help - Luddy tension rod threading Last viewed: 2 days ago

Loading...

I was visiting a friend a couple weeks ago - who shared that his son had found this snare drum in the trash at the university. When he showed it to me, I was shocked that it was a Blue/Olive Acrolite - with original heads and original wires! One tension rod was not tightened down and I discovered it was a tension rod that was the wrong threading. I took it out, stuck it in my pocket and told them I would send them the right tension rod.

I don't have one in stock at the moment - could someone tell me the threading of a Luddy tension rod (off an Acrolite). I want to be sure the rod I send him will be right. I am assuming that their insert is the stock (otherwise the tension rod, which did have different threading than the others, would have fit).

Need to get it done quick (will mail it to him) as I am heading out of town for several months.

Thanks,

John

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

Probably 12-24...but also make sure that the insert was not thrashed.

if you don't have anything, I can send him a tension rod and an insert just to be safe. I think the extra inserts I have are the ones that come up out of the lug instead of being flush. the early b/o models were flush. if you don't have something, just let me know.

Thanks Mike. It was 12/24 - sending that to him. He will call me when he gets it - will see if it is thrashed - will let you know if we need a new insert.

Thanks again!
