Default repost w/ pictures of my 60mm Omori mechanical gauge problem....

here is my original <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1406312.phtml">post</a> from last night.
here are pictures, courtesy of DAP (hope you dont mind me using these). i have the exact same problem w/ my gauge. it actually looks worse in person...

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/22561/gauge7.jpg">

does anyone know if this is a common Omori mechanical problem? or a 60mm problem? an overall problem? or did DAP and i just get bunk gauges?

Default Hey, those sneakers look familiar! :P

I know that Greg at Omori-NA said that the electrical gauges never had that problem, but I didn't find out if all the mechanical gauges had it or if only the ones I tried did and I was just unlucky. Sounds like maybe it affects all of the mechanical gauges.

FWIW, I switched to a 52mm electrical gauge, and I love it.

Default well like that email i sent you earlier said....

i'm just waiting to hear from AWE and i guess i'll just go electric too. still, its disappointing that people pay such a premium for Omori gauges, but they turn out like this?

Default Hmmm.... I never got that e-mail.

Yeah, it is somewhat disappointing. If it weren't for that, I'd probably still be running the 60mm mechanical gauge with the mount that I sent you. However, like I said, I'm completely happy with my current 52mm electrical gauge.

Why did you change from the VDO and the sweet Silroan pod in the first place?
