Is there a good 3rd party replacement stand for this or a way to strengthen the existing stand? The ball and socket joint doesn't inspire confidence.

I don't have any idea. The one I bought was a gift and the person it was given to has expressed no difficulties with the stand so far. And yes it is on display.

I don't know of any replacement stands but would like to know. Lol. I understand what you mean. I have the Star Ship from the new Star Trek movie that takes a little playing with to keep it from tilting but its also 4 yrs. old. I just keep the hole and the little ball clean and it keep free from dust and film that can build up. I found that wiping it with vinegar helps keeping it in place. I also keep it where if it should fall it wouldn't fall far just in case. I love my ships. Lol... Hope it helps..

A drop of crazy/super glue on the joint is all you need. Use only a little just in case you want to change it in the future.

I have not found any and have been looking for quite a while. I have had two stands break off right below the ball, and despite queries to the company for getting replacement parts, I have not received any response. TSHobbies makes acrylic stands for the Enterprise B, D, & E, and Excelsior, but not for any of the others. They're also a bit pricey at $32.99, but they do look very nice.

There's a dude on ebay (i.e. fluxdimensions) that sells laser-cut acrylic stands for spaceships and other things, including this version of the U.S.S Enterprise. I bout his stand for my HD Enterprise model, and I love it. Much safer than the cheesy stand that came with the unit. The stands can also be back-lit with LED lights, producing a really nice effect. Check out the dude on ebay - I think you'll find something there worth your time and effort.

If the the clutch doesn't hold the stand up, then it probably is broken or poorly assemble at the plant. You will probably want to return it. I have ten of these stands and I'm fortunate not to have received one with your problem. So, chances are, your replacement stand will work just fine.

Remove one of the feet and take it to the hardware store. Ask a sales person for help if you need to. They may have a suitable replacement.

The stand cosists of a flat plastic base, with double stick foam tape,with a coupling into which a plastic L rod fits, terminating with a small sphere, which fits into a socket on the back of the monitor case. There is a notch in the socket, which lets you remove the base from the monitor, if you want to reuse the base you will hsve to use care when removing the ball from the socket. I wasn't so careful and snapped the rod, but I hadn't planned on using the base anyway!

I personally used a toybox from my younger years and set it on that. You can also buy other stands but make sure to look at the dimensions. A table or other things like a desk might work.

I had to buy those adjustable screw-down stands. You can get them cheap from ebay or harbor freight tools. Hope this helps. Be careful and good luck. : )

No proper stand is included. There may have been a small piece of plastic to rest it on, but no proper stand.

Were you able to get it out mounted using a different stand? If so, can I buy the ring stand from you as I lost mine during a recent move and I couldn't find a way to buy it anywhere?Thanks.

I returned mine , but I had it on something like a book/dish stand, there was no mounting bracket or stand with the one I ordered. good luck

There are bolt holes on the bottom. I would imagine just about any universal stand would work

Do you mind if I ask what kind of component stand you ordered. I have been looking around quite a bit. Did you fiind a good site?

You might try contacting the company. Depending upon which part you need to replace, you may find a suitable substitute at a local hardware store.

You'll wanna take it of the original stand because it is JUNK. I'd be surprised if the people that designed this could conform to any sort of standard. It has a setup to wall-mount but that'll probably fall apart too!

I've had this stand for several years now and if I remember correctly I might have come across that issue but luckily I had some nuts that actually got the bolts...I suggest u go to your local hardware store and find the nuts for them. It's much faster and the stand is worth it hope this helps
