x-52 help out
« on: June 25, 2008, 11:34:37 AM »
hey for any of you guys that own a x-52, if you dont like the sloppiness of it, go and pick up a plastic CD holder, (the shorter one its about 4 inches tall)

you can see a small round indent in center, cut out that center and then cut out the smaller center,
pull down the spring of your x-52 slide in this plastic "washer", works awesome for tightening it up just enough, i tried metal washers but they just dont work very good. this is a perfect cheap fix.

Hey could you snap a picture of what you are talking about.  I think I have an idea but not quite sure.

look at the top, see the ring, cut that out, and then the very middle bump, it forms a good washer, just be careful because it snaps real easy, took me two times to get it out right, luckily i had both cases already

some cases are more brittle than others .. use a drill to pop out the center
