The middle coin on my TT is forming circular scuffing the same diameter as the shim from the top shell.
Anybody know if teflon will through off the magnetism? |

Only distance will reduce the magnetic pull, so use really thin Teflon tape and you'll probably be fine.

That was fast! Do you know if hardware stores such as Home Depot would carry some good tape?
Thank you for your help |

I've bought teflon tape online before but it turned out to be slightly thicker than the stuff gaff makers use. Tango sells the disks pre-cut to dollar or half dollar size in packs of 10. nice and thin.

I would suggest you email Lassen and ask him to provide you with some, since he made the gimmick that is giving you problems. I think Jamie Schoolcraft provides the Teflon tape free of charge, but I'm pretty sure he won't care to solve your problem with the Lassen gaff.

Lassen doesn't like to use teflon in his, and I would guess that it may change the properties of the gaff. I'd contact him and ask for a solution before you try doctoring on your own. Even if you drop your coins and damage them, he usually fixes them for free.

Yea He is out of town right now! But as soon as he gets back, I am sure he will be happy to help out!
And the best way to get a hold of him is to call him! |

The teflon tape will not change the properties of the gimmick nor how it works.
Troy Hooser and I both have done this to our gimmicks to reduce noise when the gimmick is flipped. I would still call Todd to ask about the wearing of the middle coin though. That should not be happening. Is the shim sticking up in the top coin causing this wear? It should be flush. Mike |

Call Todd.
Misdirect yourself regularly before you attempt to misdirect others!!!
