How to stiffen a limp gooseneck?
Our club flagship--a K21 has an aging problem. The gooseneck (for the
microphone) has gone limp. I have considered splints and ductape, but that is cumbersome and unsightly. I am looking for rejuvenation if possible. Replacing it is possible, but it looks like some fine wire splicing will be needed. Not impossible, but would prefer something simpler. Any ideas out there? TIA -- Hartley Falbaum |

How to stiffen a limp gooseneck?
Hi Hartley,
Gooseneck flex arms are friction devices that will become less stiff with time. That is normal. I have several gooseneck types in stock. Do you know who made the microphone originally? That would help me recommend a replacement gooseneck. Most German radio microphones use a gooseneck with M10 threads. I have some of those on the way to me from a US source that I'll be selling along with some German microphones. They will be available in 12" and 18" lengths for $27 and $32. http://www.soarmn.com/cumulus/peiker.htm German radio manufacturers use a variety of different gooseneck lengths and thicknesses. You can see many of them he http://www.soarmn.com/cumulus/microphones.htm Good Soaring, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com "HL Falbaum" wrote in message ...

Resisting the temptation to respond - Viagra... It may be possible to tighten it up with a covering of heat shrink tubing shrunk tightly. Scott |

Try bicycle handlebar tape, wrapped tightly and taped to secure finish end.
It's available in cork and other materials. If this doesn't provide a stiff enough gooseneck, remove wrap and first wrap gooseneck with cloth tape, then re-apply wrap. bumper "HL Falbaum" wrote in message ...

I used matte black shrink tubing. It may help to rebuild stamina, for a
while. Then the gooseneck outer wire itself breaks. Get a new one before you have a failure at the wrong time. |

Thanks all for the tips!
Looks like replacement is the ticket. -- Hartley Falbaum "HL Falbaum" wrote in message ... Our club flagship--a K21 has an aging problem. The gooseneck (for the microphone) has gone limp.
