    Default Pole base pin to stop spinning

    This is kind of a long shot, but we are trying to find this little pin thing that fits in the holes at the base of the pole at the club. All three poles in the club are great, but they are the kind of really loose:fast spinning poles that will throw you sideways when you want to go up.

    Here's a picture of the base

    ETA goddamn brand new super iPhone and it won't uploAd photo. Will have to post it whe n I get home

    Does the manufacturer have a web site? Could the part be ordered online?

    finally here's the picture, though the reflection kinda obscures the little 'pin openings', except the one.

    Thanks for those links, I will go check them out now.

    I wonder if it is just a roll pin, or 'slotted spring pin'

    might be at the hardware store

    Difficult to see. Could it be a hex screw?

    My guess is anything at the hardware store that fits the slot and is blunt ended so people don't hurt themselves will stop the spin. I always hated those damn spinners. But when a lady ( or gent) knows how to work them there's nothing like it.

    I was going to say drive a nail in and bend it over, but that is probably too low tech.

    Most likely, it's some sort of threaded bolt that belongs in there so if you can't get a part off to take to the hardware store you can simply go and buy a whole bunch of machine screws and bolts in different sizes and shapes and settings both metric and Imperial until one of them fits

    Alternately you might be able to get away with temporarily putting a rubber fernco connector over it until you could secure the correct part

    unfortunately this is a situation where I don't suggest my secret weapon of duct tape

    That looks like a platinum stages pole. You can order replacement pins from their website.

    Well thanks, well thank you. But mostly I've just been in live production long enough to have solved just about every kind of problem that comes up

    and yes I've been known to Pin strip club poles a time or to using whatever I happen to have in my car

    The screw is just a picture. It is actually probably pretty small. They come in lots of sizes. Baling wire is probably too small.
