My LTS-50T is falling apart, and I haven't really even begun to use it! I stripped the screw on one stand collar, and the other one is starting to go. The screws for the fittings that connect the truss to the stand have unscrewed in transit and gotten lost. One or more of the cheap aluminum "keyrings" that holds the pins to the stand were crushed (I forget how, but one fell off). Latly, on the black nylon connector that holds the pin to the keyring, the loop holding it on came unsewed! Now don't say I don't care for my stuff, because most of it's life (until last December) it sat in a closet, and it has only been set up about 10 times since then. I'm worried that when I start doing weekly gigs this thing's gonna fall apart! Has anyone had any durability trouble with theirs? Can I get metal fittings to replace all those cheap plastic ones? I guess Parts.AmericanDJ.com will be getting some business pretty soon!

yeah i have one of those too and it abolutely sucks. i have all the same problems you have. even though its pretty cheap, its still horrible quality. as for those flimsy keyrings, i ripped them all off after two feel off and keep them in a separate box when i setup. it may almost not be worth the price of the parts vs a new truss

Of course, do you think I would want to buy another one of these?

Is there anywhere I can get pins and thubmscrews for now? The parts website doesn't have them.
