Hi all,
I picked up a Sho-Bud Pro II but it needs some work. Right now, I'm looking for two parts for the steel guitar legs: 1) the first is inside the clutch (that tightens the leg's inner tube); there are two washers. The first is a wide split compression sleeve, usually reddish or brown color and the second is a metal washer with a beveled diagonal edge and usually about 3/4" in diameter. This second washer is the one I need. If anyone has any spares or knows of a source, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. Also, I need that thread cap for the inner tube (opposite end of the rubber foot on the leg). it is usually a yellow color in Sho-Buds.
I know these are the same parts that appear in most mic stands (like Atlas) but they want to sell me a whole clutch assembly for $30 (and $12 bucks shipping) and all I really need to make the leg work right is a $.50 washer.
Anyway, I hope someone's got one or two of these parts lying around in their idle parts bins.
Thanks,
Bob M.

B0b, I would think you could buy a whole cheap microphone stand at Guitar Center or local music store for much less than $42.00. I bought some last year for $11.00 each. Chinese made but they should have the parts you need. Use the left over parts for other projects.

Good idea , Doug, thanks - I'll check that out.
Yeah, harvesting parts from broken, non-working old mic stands is possible. Nowadays, micstands vary alot and some of the diameters are different from the old classic Atlas stands (which most steel guitar legs were derived from).
