    Default Broken mirror on Dynatwin

    Has anyone replaced a mirror on the dynatwin or a dynamo OR know how you do it.

    I managed to damage one during a line dance demo

    Is this a Disco shop repair or a DIY job--I can do DIY and can you order direct from manufacturerer?

    thanks

    Hey.

    You can get replacement mirrors from ebay for £5 each, not sure if I'm allowed to post the link - so I won't.

    I think it's just a case of pulling the current mirror, carefully, off the motor, and glueing the new one on? Something like "No More Nails?".

    Thanks Andy, presumably the cost of buying a mirror cut to size is cheaper than buying the replacement part?

    it was but i could only get them cut square, as i had to do a couple we decided to replace the lot, which at the time worked out cheaper then getting one proper replacement mirror, luckily for me the man in the shop i took it to used tobe a dj and had repaired his own lights, and new what thickness mirror we could to use .

    if you can get replacement mirrors for £5 from ebay as ollie says i would of go down that route but get some proper mirror adhesive (not worth cutting corners hear you don't want them to fall off at a gig) when we were looking i they were a lot more expensive then that, thats why we shopped around for different options. let us know what you do and how you get on

    I'm sure we've had a thread about which adhesive.
