My Mic stand tilting mechanisim plastic bolt stripped. I put a new bolt and had a small steel handle welded to the bolt. It still won't stay in place it gradually goes down even though it is tighened to the max. I use the stand to the left side of the keyboard. Are there any stands you pros recommend for under $50? Or do I have to buy one of the $100+ stands to be satisfied? Boo Thanks again

Boo, I Never paid more than $40 for a mic stand, or boom attachment. You do not have to spend $100 for both even ! Get a new one at any store, and it will last you a long time.

Boo,
If you are talking about a boom type of stand it sounds like there is too much space in the clamp area. I would cement a rubber washer on the clamp. This should give it enough grip to stay put.
Of course if I were a wealthy brick mason I'd just hire someone to hold the mic, preferably a good looking blond female.

Mic stands have become almost disposable. It costs less to buy a new one than fix the old one. Get something lightweight, but stable and you'll be fine. Look forward to seeing you in April Boo!! DonM
