@@casionokiae71 that sounds great! Enjoy your new umbrella. I'm glad you found the video useful 😁

I'm glad you found it useful! Hopefully the weather won't be too hot for you to enjoy the shade 🙂

Mine is a Sunnyglade 10'x13' from Amazon.

I have mine bolted the wood deck joist. So it stays pretty secure. I'm not sure how to handle using weights. It seems that the weights should usually work fine. But that does seem to be the weak link in these. Some of the restaurant patio seating I've seen uses these and theirs are actually bolted into the concrete. A good rule of thumb on using weights might be if things start to get VERY windy and you notice the base or support pole/beam moving ever so slightly, then that would be the time to fold it back into the closed position.

Those things keep going up! I noticed the same price in St. Louis a couple of of weeks ago.

Thank you!

Glad it helped!

Too often the manufacturers leave it up to us to figure it out on our own! Thanks for the comment!

Yes, it sure can. Pretty handy when you're doing the final mix down.

@@fishpotpete oh thats great, thankyou for your help and info.

Old habits die hard at Microsoft 🙂 You'd think this wouldn't still be an issue... But I'm glad it worked for you!

I think the swaying is definitely the most concerning thing about these. But there's really not much you can do - if they built them not to sway, then they would collapse to easily, or cost way too much. I'd say 98% of the time, the sway isn't a concern.

That's a good idea. But they're not designed to do that. Having said that you might be able to do like you say, remove the stop or something.

You sure can. One thing to consider is that the one from the other clock might not have much life left in it either. But as long as it fits, there's nothing wrong with doing that.

As far as pulling out fence posts? No, not specifically. But these are rated at a high capacity (5,000 lbs!) for dealing with farm equipment, etc. So pulling out a fence post is really an easy task for the jack on something like this.

Mine made it through a major hail storm last week with high winds, 4" of rain in about 30 minutes, tangerine size hail, etc. Every house in the area needs a new roof, 100's of broken car windshields, 100's of houses will need new siding, repairs to broken windows, etc. But my umbrella was folded up as I normally would do and it didn't get a scratch. If I still had a gazebo, it would be on the insurance claim now.

Thank you! I'm glad it helped 🙂

I probably should have done a better job of showing how the crank handle works! I bet other people have had the same issue. If you don't see it happen, you don't know it's there. My bad 😞 The short answer is "crank the handle", and my follow-up is "but I won't show you" 🙂 Thanks for the comment!

You are very welcomed!😀

They do sway in a slight wind and they sway even more with a moderate wind. But we haven't had any issues with them collapsing or anything. They work great and are easy to put up/take down, don't take up much room and you don't have either a pole in the middle or a permanent structure covering your deck. If it's a nice day and the wind isn't crazy, then they make total sense. If you're afraid of them swaying, then yes, don't buy one. That's what cantilever umbrellas do. The Sundowner type shades are similar in that respect - they can sway as well.

Each have their pros and cons. The umbrella movement is only a problem on a very windy day. They move and that's just part of the deal. I really liked our gazebo, but it's always there - day and night. If you want to do some star gazing with a telescope, the gazebo hampers where you can put your telescope. Our gazebo ultimately collapsed in a storm - frame and all. I think storms are a concern no matter what you're using. Question though - when you say "tie it down", was/is yours bolted down or are you using the water/sand filled weight things? That would be good for people to know if they don't have the option of bolting it down. This video doesn't address the difference. Thanks for your comment - it helps add more context to these things! 🙂

Solution, buy a good one next time and stay off the internet crying like a baby about someone's umbrella.

There's a butt for every seat, now isn't there? But hey, now we all know your opinion... I didn't think I was going to make it without it....

A good quality gazebo cannot be closed during strong wind. Hence using an umbrella that can be. Tree branches landing on your gazebo (soft or hardtop) can and likely will destroy it. Your chances are better putting an umbrella up in the morning and down in the evening and during storms.

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you!

Are the buttons not changing the octave? It MIGHT be dirty contacts. If so, I would spray contact cleaner in there first and see if that helps. Contact cleaner is the miracle cure on a lot of these control knob/switch issues.

@fishpotpete. It just takes more force to make it work, sometimes a few presses in a row. It's apparently a common problem even early on. There's like a dozen posts about it on forums and reddit as far back as 2015 but not one lists a fix. Some suggest a cleaning but none ever say if it worked. one reason I was interested in asking is because I wasn't sure if I could spray something like that in from the outside of the machine or if I'll have to open it up to clean it. . I did see one guy who cut off the mod wheels, octave switch and keyboard to add a big patch bay haha I just wanna change octaves predictably haha

@@changer1285 If it seems to be a multiple presses and maybe more force, then that makes me think it's a loose solder joint. I had that happen a few times few the years - once I had a solid state Crate amp that would sound perfect and the SUDDENY EXPLODE in volume. After changing underwear, I found the issue was a cracked solder joint on the amp transistors connection to the motherboard. Another example was a garage door opener (the motor part) that would start/stop/etc. - same thing, the solder connection was cracked and when the motor started, the connect would connect/disconnect. Simple reflow of the solder fixed both. I've had the same issue on multiple items (keyboards, small appliances, etc.) through the years that turned out to be a simple re-soldering fix. That's a relatively safe and easy repair to do. You still have to open the case/etc. But it's usually less than an hour job (or even 10 minutes depending). If that's not the problem, then you probably wont make it worse trying this.

@@fishpotpete while I've only ever done sloppy solder jobs on my guitar, that does seem like an easier fix than totally replacing the switch as I'm pretty sure it's right on the PCB.

Great story - Thanks for sharing! 🙂

In a perfect Windows world, your suggestion makes sense. However, the situation this addresses is one of those random things where the normal Windows procedures don't work.

@@fishpotpete The solution I provided actually worked for me and the thing you showed in the video didn't, maybe because I've got three monitors? I'm on Win 10 Pro v10.0.19045

However I get your point and just left the comment for the people to fall back onto something if the video solution doesn't work for them either

@@dremiq6670 Your comment is good... and demonstrates how random some of these bugs are in Windows. There's probably a few other fixes for the same problem that neither of us experienced as well! Thanks for adding your suggestions!

I was lucky to even say it sort of right 🙂 Thanks for the comments!!!

LOL - I think you're the first person to comment on my herringbone deck! And that includes all the people I've had over for the past 7 or 8 years. Thank you for the compliment 🙂

It's hard to say, but I would suggest changing the batteries first and see if that helps. When the batteries are low, they start acting/sounding funny. Good luck and thanks for asking!

Awesome, thank you!

I can't answer that question directly. It seems like a reasonable assumption that the "new" machine would recognize the songs on the 2nd drive. But please let us know if it works for you! I hate to assume something will work and find out later that it doesn't!!!!

@@fishpotpete Thanks for responding... I will let you know if it works or not. : )

Before swapping hard drives I thought I would reset the "new" korg back to factory settings but couldn't find the procedure in the manual or online. Am I missing something??

You might try: archive.org/details/D1200V103CDMAC This version might be for a Mac, but I'm not sure. Korg still has some downloads on line that might help as well: www.korg.com/us/support/download/product/1/73/ I might have had one of those years ago, but I'm thinking I went from D8 to D16 and then the D3200.

If you just bought it and it was ripped upon receipt, then you might need to return it... and that's easier said that done!!!! If it ripped since you've had it awhile (like a tree fell on it or something), then that would be a different story. If you're in a bigger city, there might be an awning/tent company that could help - That sound expensive - so maybe a last resort. I think I have seen some replacement tops for these on line - so you might try an extended Google search on that. Different brands can use the same parts and if you have good measurements, they can check and see have a replacement canopy - I was able to do that with the gazebo canopy years ago. Good luck with that! Let us know how it goes. I'm sure other people have had the same problem! :-( If it's a clean rip, then you MIGHT be able to sew it back together (like they do on sail boats) - a local boat store might be some help there??? Or even a patch that can be ironed or glued on.

That's one of reasons I make these videos. Not all products are suitable to everyone. That's an important lesson that gets lost on some KZbin videos. Thank you for the comment!

That's a tough one. I'd first want to make sure that it's glued on and not screwed in from the front with a paper clock face hiding the screws. If you're comfortable it's glue, you could try a hair dryer to heat up the clock body and then work the glue loose by slipping a razor blade between the motor body and the back of the clock face and gently try to get the pieces apart. But, like you said, you don't want to mess up the clock. That's a tough one.

Glad it helped! That drove me nuts that all the other videos left that step out!

Sounds interesting - I would just want to make sure I didn't brick either device in the process!

Man I'm really sorry that happened!!! 😞 I don't think you recorded anything. I've had that happen to me on too many other consoles as well. I think all you can do is take a deep breath and chalk it up to a "learning experience". For those that don't know - MTR (Multi Track Recorder) is playback only. I gotten to the point where I switch everything back to "Live" before I shut the system down so I've at least have a chance of not messing it up. But I still forget something (like push the arm button on the channel) before hitting record.

Great idea!

@@fishpotpete all yours free

Thanks!

Enjoy! And don't forget to hit the "record" button on the channel before you start trying to record. I've missed too many takes doing that. Like lately. 😞

Awesome! Enjoy 🙂
