Hi all,

I've just received an MTM which I bought from ebay. Its in good condition but is missing the 8 plastic trigger in sensitivity knobs.

They look suspiciously like the ones also used on the SPM 8:2/SDS1000/SDS2000 and I was wondering if anyone had any spares so I could restore my MTM to its former glory.

Cheers

Chris

Hi!

I compared with the TMI I used to have and the knobs are the same as the 
MTM but the shaft length differs... So, sad to say, I doubt if the SPM 
8:2 and SDS-1000 works since they is very same in style as the TMI. The 
SDS-2000 I'm not sure about.

But if anyone here knows better I'll gladly listen since I miss 10 of 
those knobs too... :(

Thanks Jesper

I have an 8:2 which I was considering using for parts but I guess its not really an option. I also have an SDS 2000 which I can't seem to remove the knobs from to confirm.

Can anyone else off any insight (or any spares?)

Cheers

Chris

I remember I pulled them from the TMI and they stuck out too much (if I 
remember this correctly) on the MTM. Still looking for a (hopefully 
crappy!) unit which uses the same...

I tried sourcing MTM knobs (which are different than SPM, MTX, etc.) years ago and couldn't find them. I sent pictures to every electronic supplier I've gotten parts from and no one had any idea who made them or where to get them. But, if anyone out there can dig them up please know that you will be considered a hero on this board. And let me know - I need a few myself. :)
