Re: OT Ebow casing degradation

I haven't had that happen either, had mine since 1991... the only thing I've 
ever needed to do to it is replace the battery terminals.  Sounds like 
battery seepage.

Mike,

Gosh, that's a new one on me, and I've owned 3 (bought the first one in
1980 direct from the manufacturer).

Never had anything of the sort happen to any of them.

If you find out let us know.
