Hi,
I just purchased a Balazs non-adjust pro platform and when assembling the swivel to the drum the wood screws provided don't really grab the wood. Can't tighten down on the screws, they just spin, so the swivel isn't secure. It seems the holes they drilled in the drum are too large or the wood screws they provide are too small. Anybody else come across this problem? Not a big deal, I'll just get larger screws but after what I paid for this setup I'm a little annoyed about having this issue. I emailed them to ask why also.
Another thing is the swivel packaged with the platform - It's an Everlast pro swivel that uses a cotter pin to keep the pin that goes through the bag's loop in place - a cotter pin! The assembly instructions that came with the platform describes a swivel that uses a chain link retaining clip. I bought the platform from Robbins Sports online - is it possible they switched out the Balazs swivel? Funny thing is, any photos of the Balazs platform doesn't show the swivel!
Thanks,
Bill
P.S. excited - just ordered a powermill from Ryan - I'm on the waiting list. So swivel issue above doesn't really matter now.
