Center Post Spinning

[Aziphrale]

Hello all,

Straight to the issue at hand.

I have a TOBH Atty Clone, the center post is spinning. When i screw in the center screw the entire post turns with it. I tried to hold the post and screw the bottom screw and have not had any luck. Is there a quick fix that anyone know of to repair this?

Any advice or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The use a flat tip screwdriver in the bottom contact of the atty when you tighten down the top post.

It may have busted somewere in there? I'm not sure

the contact is adjustable, the post is fitted to the deck via an insulator

I had the same issue and ended up buying an "upgraded" copper center post.

I believe that the issue with the center post is that the threads weren't cut deeply enough, so the screw-in positive post at the bottom of the atty bottoms out before the post is tight enough to prevent spinning.

Did you get the Upgraded post from a shop or Online. I have tried to screw the post and tighten the head below at the same to no avail.

How did you change the post if it spins with noting else?

I purchased it through Congrevape, although I think there are some retailers that carry them, and I put a small drill bit through the wire hole to hold it steady while I unscrewed the bottom.

I used the same method to install the new post.

Thanks K_Tech i appreciate the help. It wasn't an expensive atty. I got it from fasttech. Just disappointing had it for less than a month. If the upgrade is same price might just buy/order a new one.

Yup, I think the "upgrade" cost about what a "new" clone on FT costs.

They do offer some interesting deals from time to time. Just beware all the items they offer are group buys, and you may have to wait a month or two to get what you want.
