eliminator screws loose

[chip12r]

i have the eliminator double pedal. however, the screws at the bottom of the pedal board (where it hinges) keep backing out. how do i keep them in?

[chip12r]

actually, one of them is gone

this kept happening to me, with the master pedal. The place I bought them from said it was a defect and they replaced them for free. I dont know if that is true everywhere though. Contact the place you got them from, and see if the pedals are still under warrenty.

I've used my new ones for over 6 months and the screw has not slipped out once. My current problem is the little screws that hold the "black grip pad" to the footboard are comming out. I have lost 3 of them so far. :mad:

well that sucks. i bought the pedal from mars music which has gone out of business.

I noticed mine was on the left pedal. I dont know what was causing that. I no longer have the pedal though!! :D

One thing you might try is using Loctite thread locker on the screws. Don't use the red though unless you never want to unscrew that screw again. Loctite comes in different grades so read the bottle and follow the directions.

You mileage may vary.

I got mine from mars as well, luckly I got it taken care of before they went out of business. Contact the guys at pearl, the pedals have a 1 year manufacturer warrenty I believe. Gene Okamato is a great hardwware guy.
