The base of one of my LS30B speaker stands is broke. It's the plastic part in the base where the upright pole fits into. Can I get replacement parts for it?

I believe I have the same Ridgeway tent - over 20 years old. Red-, Blue- and Green-labeled poles. Best setup will require at least 2 persons. Here is a quick guide to setup:

1. First, stake the tent floor down making sure it is taut.

2. Center poles are labeled with Blue dots. There are 3 separate poles that fit through the center channel - 1 straight pole with 'male' connectors on each end (this will be in the middle), and 2 poles with curved 'female' ends. The curved ends need to slip through the center loops (there's a 'hook' to hold the loop). The center upright poles consist of a bottom pole (which should have a cap on one end and an adjustable ring on the other) and a 2-piece snap pole (with grooves on one end). Make sure to slip the pole with the grooves through the adjust ring (this will allow adjusting the height of the center of the tent). There are also 2 strings at the center of the tent about a foot above the ground. Tie these strings around the upright center pole to ensure that the center upright pole doesn't separate too far from the tent.

3. Poles with Red dots are for the ends of the tent. There is a curved 2-piece snap pole that slips through the end channel. Then, you have a 3-piece straight snap pole that attaches to each side of the curved pole. The bottom end of the straight pole should be placed about a 1.5 feet from the bottom of the center pole (at about a 45-degree angle). The door ends are essentially 'leaning' outward from the center.

4. Poles with Green dots are for the extended door cover on the large door side. These are 2 snap poles with ends that fit through the grommet holes of the cover.

We don't use our tent very often, but my son just took it camping and it was a breeze to set up. If you still have the plastic stakes, I would recommend replacing those with metal stakes, as the plastic stakes break easily. Also, you may need to find a rain fly that fits the tent.

OK.. try this... Buy a 10' length of 3/4" EMT electrical tubing.

Cut it to length and HAMMER the ends flat.

Now drill holes for your new/fresh bolts and mount your new support arms from the base to the main pole.

Wa-La!

According to the maker, no parts are user serviceable, http://www.free-instruction-manuals.com/pdf/p47110435.pdf

If your miele is laying all the way down like mine is and will not stand upright..look for a dark gray corrugated plastic part where the handle bends at the base. This is above the silver holed plastic filter holder. This may be stuck. I just pulled mine out and then I was able to stand it upright again. I wasn't able to put it back in but I think it is there just to cover up the inside workings of the vacuum. So I left it out.

I cannot find exact instructions but I did find a general guide to assembly. they are usually very easy to assemble.

A standing fan is a portable fan that has a set of three oscillating blades on a long neck. The neck, also called the pole or the leg, is mounted on the floor. Standing fans have evolved from their origins as noisy accessories that blew away papers in their vicinity to silent fans whose direction can be controlled remotely. When placed at a convenient location, a standing fan can distribute air evenly to the entire room. Its speed can be controlled, and many standing fans can be programmed to stop at a set time.

1. Installation Requirements
   • The only requirement for installing a standing fan is making sure it is near a power source. The entire unit can be assembled manually with only a screwdriver. A single standing fan, either an oscillating or pedestal fan, is very simple to assemble for basic home use.
     
   Pole and Base
   • The first step is to lay the parts on a floor. Then assemble the pole on the base of the stand. This is very simple, because the grooves for the screws are already drilled, so the screws just need to be inserted and screwed in. Screwing the pole into the base of the fan is required on some models; on others, the pole and the base are molded together and no screws are needed.
     
   Motor and Fan Installation
   • One some fans, you have to install the motor and oscillating arm to the pole. This again is done by screwing screws into predrilled holes. Grooves for long screws are at the top end of the pole, where they attach to the motor of the fan. Once the motor is placed on the top of the pole, insert the screws in the predrilled holes and tighten the screws. The next step is to wire the three blades. This is done by taking the wires from the motor and joining them to the sockets in the pole. This finishes the assembly procedure.
     To turn the fan on, ensure that the wires fit securely together. A loose connection cannot not only hamper the performance of the fan, it can also lead to problems such as electrical shocks or burning wires.

I hope this helps

good luck

Hello cdelune. Glad to see you fixed the problem but Im having the exact same issue with the fan! Not sure what to do with the pole with the frayed ends and how to connect it with the plastic falanges. Ive been at it a while now so do you think you could help me out and post exactly what you did to fix it? Thanks.

You could try putting large amounts of "Bluetak" under it..lol

The pedal release can be replaced but the base will need to be checked for cracks as well. if the base is broken most common is the socket the pedal release snaps into. some of the plastic parts have been made with better materials

Unfortunately there are two standards for the pole diameters. Some of the smaller poles have caps to accomodate the larger brackets. First thing is to measure what you have for poles and the two sizes of mounting holes. Many of the mounting bosses are standard and available online here is an example:

http://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Cabinet-Metal-Stand-Mounts/dp/B0035AJTL8

Peg out 2 back pegs of inner tent. Peg out 2 front then side pegs. Place smaller pointed pole through hole at bell end of inner tent from inside, longer pole through hole at front.Fit protective bases to each pole. Top pointed poles with separators. Assemble roof pole, put through loop and over separators. Throw outer tent over from bell end (needs 2 people) then carefully lead towards front til holes in roof match - back hole first. Fit rain hoods front and back. Peg outer tent from bell end first then back corners, front corners then sides. Place porch poles through holes at front of porch, zip door sides down with one person holding poles upright and taut and peg out door. Peg sides all along making sure they do not touch inner tent. Fix guy ropes.
