Defective Latches on Fingerprint Kits?

Out of the hundreds of thousands of Peavey fingerprint kits out there, we got one where the latch “malfunctioned.” Actually, the latch worked too well. Once closed, it wouldn’t open.

Greg Ebeling (nearly 40 years in) took the complaint call. He went back in production and tested a latch for himself. Go ahead, call him a wimp, but he had difficulty opening them by hand.

As it turned out, the case of the malfunctioning latch was solved. The latch can be opened by simply using a ball-point pen under the latch. After a few cycles the latch worked much better.

At least we know that the latch is not too loose. Then we’d all have some real problems!
