It obviously un-attached itself. Where from? Is it normally glued to the bowl? Top? Or maybe clipped, not glued, to one of the braces or something? Or something else? Thanks is advance. richardd Posted 2007-03-13 6:34 AM (#110786 - in reply to #110785) Subject: Re: Balladeer Wires Clip Where?

In the end I bunched the wires together and cable tied'em. No more rattle. Shot in the Dark Posted 2007-03-13 11:20 AM (#110787 - in reply to #110785) Subject: Re: Balladeer Wires Clip Where?

What did you cable tie them to? richardd Posted 2007-03-14 5:58 AM (#110788 - in reply to #110785) Subject: Re: Balladeer Wires Clip Where?

And now I've mastered the fine art of fastening a cable tie with one hand. Thanks! Old Man Arthur Posted 2007-03-17 5:05 PM (#110790 - in reply to #110785) Subject: Re: Balladeer Wires Clip Where?
