I've had two come loose, don't be lazy and clean out the hole before re-inserting or it won't sit flush... don't ask, but I'm waiting for it to come out again.

Too funny me too it's been a while I must have used too good of glue cause it hasn't budged.

Another day another Tmod.

 

[MFToms59]

Awesome looking set-up, what's the metal & finish on that mod... sweet!

 

[Drillerrt]

It has a brushed finish. It's an aluminum mod. I decided it's going to be my take to work mod so I don't have to worry about chipping the cerakote from my other mod. I'll probably rotate atties on it just to change it up.

I would bet your issue stems from using different length cells. The tmsx will adjust to a wide range of cells but if you use different length cells by even a half of a mm you will notice connection issues as there is nearly zero spring in the contacts. Simple solution: adjust your negative screw a half turn when you notice the issue. Personally I have 2 sxtms and have had zero problems with either of them.

Success! Removed and cleaned the threads of the negative post with alcohol and a q-tip. Performance is back! Gone through two battery charges and all is well. FYI for anyone having similar issues. I think now I will find an old toothbrush and do a better cleaning. Two dis-similar metals, I wonder if there is a better cleaning method?

Acids are good for removing corrosion.
Ketchup, vinegar, and lemon juice are good household sources for mild acids.

Better to find a way to prevent the galvanic corrosion though.
Use compatible metals, use intermediaries, preventatives, etc.

vinegar will make brass patina

i use isopropyl, cheap in bulk on ebay. I bath my mechs in it overnight, then scrub with a scratch brush

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

Mine needs cleaning. How do you clean Aluminum?

If left too long, sure. But it can be used to clean too.
Most restoration shops use acid to clean prior.

And rinsing it all off is important. Even use a base (baking soda) to neutralize remaining acid.

Forum stats say
"Tbev was last seen: Saturday at 3:51 PM"
So 2 hours before you posted the milk carton.
He just hasn't posted since April.

He posted some pics on FB on May 6.


And he's been active on instagram.

Someone told him to go fly a kite, literally.
