Lately I've been looking to change my original clamps on my Superstringer T50.
I even wanted to change my bases (even if they does the job well) to get away from the 12.2 diameter where the range for clamps is a bit limited...and that I have started to get more picky and I am craving for those new Xpider bases with the associated stringclamps.
Unfortunately, that option is not available right now for Superstringer machines,
and I understand that I may be alone in being willing to spend that sum on a cheaper machine, so I have to look for other ways to get new clamps to fit my old bases.
A big thank’s to Dirk on Tennisman for related guidance!
But I found a way! I’ve looked on those new Merco clamps which seems to be constructed in the same way as mine, which means it should be possible to remove the screws and replace the pins to make them fit my bases. I got the Merco clamps today and it went as planned!
Course of action and pics coming soon!
