discreet Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) [b]Flight Case Rack Butterfly Catch Problem[/b] I've got a 4U flight case rack with sprung butterfly catches identical to this one: The problem I've got is, one of the catches is now impossible to close. They are the type that have a very positive one-way action, then the 'butterfly' bit folds down into the catch tray to keep it out of the way. It became harder and harder to close and now I've bent the bloody butterfly slightly trying to close it. I have no idea why this should have happened - the lid still fits snugly. The other three catches are fine. Is there an adjustment I can carry out to fix this? Have you had this problem and if so what did you do about it? I thank you. Edited July 10, 2012 by discreet Quote
discreet Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Managed to fix this with a tiny, tiny drop of sewing-machine oil in the mechanism. Result! Quote

discreet Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Yes. Yes, I make my own dresses and balloons. Doesn't everyone have sewing-machine oil for their tuners? Shame on you! Quote
