I don't want to bother Paul with trivial questions, so I figured I would ask here first (especially since I got mine at auction). I have a TC 100 and a Vantage 95. I ordered pallets and 3 color packs and received them quickly from Paul.
My main question is this: Do they both use the same pallets? On my invoice it says: Pallets - B - 2, the color packs say: 3 color packs - TC100. I have to swap the pallets out on both racquets as one is a 4 and the other is a 5. I took the leather off the 95 and the staples are really deep and it seems like I will have to basically destroy the pallet to get them out. Luckily I ordered 2 sets of pallets and they came with a buttcap and the color packs have the center piece, so in theory I should be able to make these 2 racquets, brand new, and my own! (for less than the price of 1 shipped)
So my second question is, am I correct in assuming there is no way to get really deep staples out other than prying with a small screwdriver (which cuts in the foam really easy, I tried) Thank you for any information, this was my ghetto demo program and luckily both frames are immaculate, and will soon hopefully have new pallets, grommets, buttcap, grips, center pieces, and strings. It just makes sense to me to use the same pallet systems (they are big, and they cut them to whatever size you want, when you order through them) so I will have some man hours to put in, but I believe everything will turn out great! If you made it this far, thank you again!! Have a great day!
