matt_haber1 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 <p>My Bogen boom arm recently froze and will no longer move up and down (turning still works). I don't know what caused the problem, as it happened when it was on loan (grrr). I have not been able to figure out how to even take it apart to diagnose the problem, and Google has <em>not</em> been my friend!</p> <p>Any suggestions as to next steps?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_haber1 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 <p>I used the mechanical engineer's solution--get a bigger hammer!<br> I spent some more time unsuccessfully trying to take it apart. Then I realized that the head end had been left at the extreme end of its range of motion. I decided that a small bump may have caused it to go <em>beyond</em> its limit, so I hit it gently with a hammer, thinking that might push the gears back into the right position. That worked!</p> <p>JC Uknz--thanks for the suggestion. Not sure where I would have sprayed, as I didn't know (initially, without taking it apart) where it was frozen.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
