Hey guys,
Anyone else here having an issue with Decksaver for Moog Subsequent 37?
This cover does not fit this synth at all. I’m scared to put it on as the edges are so sharp and tight, that they will scratch the wooden end chicks.
It is strange because everyone says it is qood quality, but not in my case!
Attaching some pictures. Let me know if you did experience something similar.
My Rev2 Decksaver is pretty tight, but it came with padded strips. The strips move a little when you use the lid, which I felt was a crappy design. It’s not caused any problems yet, and they sent me replacement strips as remedy for the shifting after I asked them about it.
Sorry that doesn’t help with your S37. Maybe worth contacting them to ask about it?
If there is no replacement option, a little 100 grit sandpaper should make short work of those sharp edges. Maybe clean up with some 200 after so it is nice and smooth.
Hey, thnx for your reply.
I was disappointed to find out that this cover does not have strips like in your example or like for Moog DFAM/Mother 32.
Next step will be to contact Decksaver directly if the store does not find any solution…
Thnx for the advice.
I can easily remove the end panels and work on the wood part until it fit, but the cover itself should be placed on without applying preasure…
I meant to shave down the decksaver not the Moog wood
Ah, ok… understood.
This is something that I could try if there is no replacement option.
Thank you.
Expanding on this a little: i would use 200 grit to get rid of any seams or rough corners on the inside of the decksaver. If the fit is extremely tight, 100 will take material off faster.
Don’t even think of using a Dremel or similar rotary tool - hand sanding will take off material very quickly. Use one of your COVID masks while working to avoid inhaling tiny plastic particles.
Felt Tape. Google that. It’s usually polyester now. Often used for weatherstripping and such, so available at Home Depot and those sort of building supply types of places.
I’d like to put in a recommendation, for US based folks, for Ace Hardware or similar locally operated shops. Often their selection is tailored to the local market, and often the people working there REALLY know their stuff. HD is fine when you know exactly what you want, but the little guys often have near-magical knowledge.
UHWMPE tape can also be really nice for applications where surfaces need to touch and slide, but you don’t want the compressability of felt and felt-like materials.
“If they don’t have it, you probably don’t need it.”
Ace always comes through for me. For instance : Luggage handles for a custom Eurorack case. Stock at Ace, and inexpensive.
No Dremel for sure - it will be too aggressive against to polycarbonate, so as you suggest hand sanding only.
Thank you once again.
Thnx, will check.
Head the exact same issue in 2020 - got in touch with Decksaver explaining the problem and suggesting to release a new version with soft padding on the sides. They said they’d look into it, took their time and fast forward 1,5 year later here we go - Moog Subsequent 37 cover - Decksaver
