Vibrations

[RoMan]

Hi all,

I need to disassemble my Salamander unit this weekend. I have a mount attachment that I need to take off, take the top off, remove the spanner post and put in a centre channel speaker(Def Tech CLR 3000) and reassemble.

Most of my gear is Rotel and when I'm assembling the Lcd mount attachment I need to hit the post down with a rubber mallet and last time I needed to really pound the post in as they are pretty tight fit on the pegs.

My question is can the vibrations from the pounding affect my Rotel gear if I left them in the cabinet? Could it cause something to come loose in the equipment etc. Any suggestions, comments would help and most appreciated.

Thanks all.

I would clear the work space of any expensive electronics before hammering anything! It just seems to make sense! Accidents, or unforeseen events, can ruin the day

:E Don't do it....remove the equipment. I agree with Mike........

Thanks fellas. Here is a kicker. Once I remove the mount, top and I don't have to remove the spanner post, I can just bring the CLR over the spanner post and place in the centre shelf rack. The kicker here is that once I do that I still need to secure the top and reassemble the mount back on the unit. I was thinking if I can place some bubble wrap underneath the speaker to absorb the vibrations that will happen when I start to knock down the post on the cabinet.

Remember I only have about an inch clearance in the centre shelf so I hopefully the bubble wrap is enough to absorb the hammering vibrations. A suggestion was to put cooking oil on the pegs so that the pegs may slide off easier. Any other suggestions?

Penetrating oil or WD-40 :T

The cooking oil worked. When I contacted Salamander he said that it should go on easier the second time because the metal shavings would be gone from the inside of the posts. He was definitely right about that because it did go on a lot easier for sure.
