    So.Pac.Co.:whites:

    Tesoro Control Knobs --- What size Allen Wrench? Hello fellow dirt fisherman, I am thinking to remove just the Knobs, not the retaining nuts on each stem on the face of my B2 uMax and slipping some 6mil or so vinyl punched over the stems, and reattaching the Knobs as a way of creating a more...

    OK, while I am on a roll here; what about thin yet protective gloves for the cold?

    OK, while I am on a roll here; what about thin yet protective gloves for the cold? I am not 19 anymore and tend to lose circulation/feeling in the cold weather these days. My gloves that I use pretty much prevent me from picking up a coin or thumbing the adjustment knobs on my Tesoro. The...

    Excalibur/Threshold constantly changes tone/pitch/volume

    Excalibur/Threshold constantly changes tone/pitch/volume Any advice? It seems to me that the Threshold Adjust must be broken since it will not shut off the Excalibur. I must instead disconnect the battery pod. Also, the tonal changes seem in part due to headphone wires being loose inside the...
