Does your Buzz wobble on its base?

[Pamdane]

OK,
I have had 4-5 Buzz in the last 18 months. I recently sold one and the buyer pointed out the base wobbled. All of my units had this. What is YOUR experience? time.

You mean when you stand them upright? None of mine do, maybe because all of mine have the all brass bottom caps instead of the delrin threaded caps.

check the bottom to see if it is smooth , drops can cause dings on the edge of the bottom and this will cause a wooble, also make sure the screw is tight and below the surface . the delrin threads have a pin that align them this can work loose as well.

Mine stands up fine...........

I have the chrome base on my BP Kempo.
Never had any problem standing it up. Oh course it has to be at least fairly level where you set it.

I just wondered. All my pros stand on end, but I recently had someone mention the "wobble" for lack of a better term. All of my PV's seem to have it. I'm not talking about enough to fall, or such.
I just got 2 new PV's this week, and even they have it. ITs not obvious. ITs like the difference between setting a glass on a flat marble counter, and setting it on an old wooden table.
Does that help?

That's odd and interesting Pam, I don't notice any wobble in mine at all...but maybe my standards are lower? LOL Ok, my Root Beer BP has just the tiniest little bit, I can slip a sheet of paper under one part of the bottom cap, but it stands still. My purple BP, original purple Buzz and even my beta BP all are steady soldiers.

 

[Pamdane]

Yes, thats what I was trying to ask! So, 1/4 for you wobbles.

Thanks.

 

[Bovinia]

Sorry Pam, I just couldn't resist

Retainer pin is slightly out on mine, so it would wobble, but I've never tried to stand it on the end.

(maybe it'll be tapped back in when the switch gets reglued )

We have 3 for 3 in this household that stand up steady.

Mine can wobble. I have the delrin threads and sometimes the brass will get all funky and off-center in relationship to the threaded part. I'm in the habit of straightening it all out if I'm going to stand it up, other than that it usually stands pretty steadily.

I really wish the all metal endcap was an option instead of the "new" one when you buy the buzz! For some reason it's hard for me to justify placing an order just for an endcap.

my buzz never wobbled, my IPro never wobbles.

Only mine w/the derlin ends wobble. I have 2 w/good solid ends and no wobble. Have an Ip and bb w/new end caps and they both wobble... Prefer the older end caps by a gazillion%. And I have the same thing happen as exodus does... Bring back the solid end caps plz

Is there any approved method to hold the set pin in if it tends to loosen, slide out slightly?

I have 5 buzz pros lined up in front of me and they all stand straight without any issues. However if I tap them slightly they wobble for a moment. However, I have a provari mini sitting right next to them and if I tap it gently it wobbles as well. But they need to be tapped or the desk needs to be pushed pretty hard to make them wobble!

I've asked that question before and don't recall getting an answer. I'll rub the magic genie lamp and see if I can get an answer

Does your Buzz wobble on its base?

Only after I've had too many drinks but everything wobbles then so I don't notice it.

Superglue. A little dab will do ya.

 

[Bovinia]

Thank you 5C, I actually did ask the shop and Lorrie said super glue was fine to try...but I forgot to come back and post it

And LOL at your wobble
