Strange thing happened this week. My Balance record clamp is no longer screwing down tight. It was working but now for any thickness of record it doesn’t screw down. If there’s no record, it can screw into the spindle fine. Has anyone had this issue? How do I fix it?
 
It is threaded. The engaging threads are stripped. If you remove the record, you engage threads past the point of the stripping, and they still work.

If the male threads on the axle (spindle) are still intact, it’s the female threaded clamp, in which case the fix is to replace or repair the clamp. You might try a Heli-Coil, but if you are asking about this, you may be better served by going through your Brinkman dealer.
