New Balladeer 1771-LX - Suddenly the wires are banging around inside. I can see a small circular clip that a few wires are running through. 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.

If yours is the same as mine, it has a little round snap shut self adhesive clip.
Mine came loose and I tried to stick it back and eventually gave up.
In the end I bunched the wires together and cable tied'em. No more rattle.

Thanks Richard -

I have tons of those in various widths. What did you cable tie them to?

I bunched them together and tied them tight enough that they wouldn't slap against the bowl and left them floating.
Worked great.
Good luck.

Worked great.

And now I've mastered the fine art of fastening a cable tie with one hand.

Thanks!
