Premium Members Lars Erik Posted September 6, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just noticed this after the arm made some noise after operating. The pin that's supposed to give the arm socket some resistance, is broken. Anybody know how to fix this? Had this problem before? Thanks for any replies.

Premium Members Fabrizio Sciarra SOC ACO Posted September 6, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 You mean the spring? Should be an easy replace from Tiffen I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members luis castro Posted September 7, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 You mean the spring? Should be an easy replace from Tiffen I guess be careful when pressure changes, and then in the spring, I damaged a finger do it this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Lars Erik Posted September 7, 2011 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yes the spring. Tiffen contacted me the same day after reading the post. They will send a new one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Travis Hays Posted September 10, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 as a G-70 owner should I be concerned about this also? Did Tiffen say this happens often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members JobScholtze Posted October 16, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have the same with my second arm ( g50 ) Guess i have to ask for a spring aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Anders Holck Petersen Posted October 18, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 My spring snapped after 5 years of of heavy use.....used rubber bands for 3 months until I got a spare ordered :-) Changed it earlier this year. As the others say, watch out when you tighten the spring...its a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Andrew Ansnick Posted October 19, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Just noticed the other day that my IIIA arm also needs the spring replaced. Last time it was in for service was over 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
