Really looking forward to getting a pair of these when the next batch is ready!

Hi Nimrod,
Still enjoying the use of the BT-12 from the original production run. Still nothing like it.

I know the question will come up, so we may as well deal with it now:

Can the cab lock be retrofit to the original BT12?  I'm guessing the lock is not a separate apparatus, but "designed in".

Hi Frank,

I'm glad to hear that your BT-12's are serving you well.

Unfortunately the cab lock can not be (easily...) retrofitted to the previous version of the BT-12. The lock design involves some holes and a weld that are done to the top stem at the pre-assembly stage. I guess this could be managed by a skilled metal worker or DIY'er but it isn't a simple task for the everyday user...

When I first started thinking and designing the lock, I did try to make it also retrofitable to the previous version of the BT-12. but it was too complicated, compromising and time consuming so I let go of the idea and aimed the design for new units only.

What a great product and one I hope to purchase when available.

How long do you think it will take for Behringer to "borrow" the design and start making it in China?

The basic design is out there for about 5 years now. If they only wanted they would have done it a long time ago.

But if they did...
It would probably be named EuroTilt 4000 Pro...
It would somehow develop electronic or software issues...
It would probably break after a year or if loaded 10gr over the rated weight limit   

This is the Cab Lock plunger (in collapsed position):

Please follow the directions on the BT-12's ordering page: http://bt-12.com/prices.php

[Stephen Kirby]

Hi Nimrod, the ordering page on your site just shows that they are back ordered and that the cost hasn't been set.

Do you want to set up a pre-order list?

[Chuck Simon]

Yeah, not meaning to nit pick, but I would like to know the cost prior to ordering.
