StormTooper4 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Greetings fellow RWG'ers. Today I received my new Pammy177 and I am having doubts about the crowns stability. I was hoping that some of you have had a similar issue and that my worries are not necessary. Basically I'm not sure how well the Crown is working; it seems to wobble when it's pulled out to change the time. Is this normal? Also it seems quite stiff but that's fine. Am I over concerned? As overall I'm pretty happy with it. But my 127 and 055 don't not behave quite like this. There is a light AR which is nice, the sapphire is high quality and the movement is correct. Apologies for the poor pictures they were scanned at work. (alas I cannot upload Pics, its not my day) I appreciate that the teeth on the crown are too few and that there is a recessed canon pin, these I can live with but I'm worried that it might not last. Has anyone had a similar issue? I really don't want to have to send it back as even though its only is a few hours I've already grown quite attached to it. Thanks in advance and have a good weekend S Edited January 11, 2008 by stormtooper4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazonkers Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Mine are all tight and the same. Since you already have two other PAMs, you know what they should feel like. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Edited January 11, 2008 by bazonkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Does the crown come with solid tube, or is it spring loaded ? If the latter, the wobliness in completely normal, for rep crowns that is. Gen crowns are also spring loaded but there's no significant wobble It would be great if you could upload a pic or two of your crown in pulled out position. cheers, babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its does seem to be spring loaded compared to my others so perhaps thats just the way it is. cheers S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't wobble, but it just doesn't feel anywhere as tight as, e.g., the Davidsen 112. You may have better luck on Image Shack. 1- http://imageshack.us/ 2- Browse to your photo on the HD 3- Tick 640 x 480, click "Host it!" 4- Copy/paste the 'direct url' to your RWG post 5- Highlight it, choosing either the second button atop, near the Smiley button or put the [ img ] ... [ / img ] tags around it. Good luck with it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope these shots have uploaded. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
