Matthews Baby Boom Question
Hello,
I have been using a Matthews Baby Boom (#427801) for many years, and have recently bought a second one. Both are regularly used on a Century Stand.
To secure the boom to the stand, I have simply been slipping the female boom end over the male stand end and tightening down a Matthews handle. Well, I’m missing one of these handles so I went to the Matthews website to get the part. And can’t find it. Instead, their literature says I need a Junior Receiver or a Baby Pin.
Well, I belive I know what the Baby Pin does…that is, it allows the boom to sit in a much larger stand which has a large female socket to recieve the boom. But how does the Junior Receiver work, and to the point, is this the part I need instead of the simple Matthews tightening screw-handle I’ve been using for so long?
Thank you all… — Bill

Ummmm… I think Matthews must be confused about what you need (or either I’m the one that’s confused).
Aren’t you just looking for the “T-handle” knob that you see on every C-stand and grip head?
If so, I think that is Matthews part B63201 which they describe as “T Handle, large 5/16-18.”
Unfortunately Matthews doesn’t sell invidual parts online (although you used to be able to get a parts book online…. maybe you still can)… you have to call them directly to buy parts.
Hope that helps,
T2
