Bongo Fury

I doubt if the actual joints are wrecked. It might well be worth covering them with Waxoyl to keep the grit out.
It's a pretty poor show after only 10 months though

I vote we delete all other posts on this thread and just leave the one quoted

Seconded

Can I vote

The ebay seller didn't argue the point, saw the photos & put a new set straight in the post, arrived this morning .
He did say he had never had a single complaint in all the years hes been selling them for the bongo, reckons he's shifted over 8000.
As I said before - get yours checked if you've replaced yours in the last couple of years.

Regarding vaseline: this causes rubber to perish more quickly. When I worked for a mobile phone network we were forbidden from using vaseline to help get wires through bulk head grommets so I used an alternative. It took a lot of explaining when customer's saw the tube of KY Jelly in my tool box!!!
