Re: Altec A40P

All around a very solid Boom. I am still running 2 of them. Biggest issues are with the reel carrier. Where the cylinders meet the chassis and verse visa. There are no bushing so the hole will eventually oval out and get a alot of play to them. Pistol grip handle is no longer supported so if that goes you will have to upgrade it to newer model (3 Grand) or do what I did and convert it over to switches. Main pin that connects the boom to the turret is Non-Greasable so they are know to seize and can cause some damage. Other than that they are strong as hell and I likethe simplicity of them compared to my T-40C. Just like any other boom if the operator knows how to take care of and does they will last forever.
