Hardware problem on the Tengyun V1

[randomness...]

Just today, one of the screws on my tengyun V1 refuses to stay where i tensioned it to, and i tried multiple times to keep it down
the only explanation that i have is that that the core's thread is stripped somehow.
please help as i love the V1 and really dont want to lose it

you might be able to buy one from the cubicle if you send an email

i was gonna try a core swap because i have alot of 3x3's, but i just found out the reason, its because the nub that holds the screw broke.
when i get a chance im gonna try taking all the nubs off and still try the core swap.
this is upsetting but it is what it is in the end ):

it fits my turning style better than new releases (plus im not spending 60-70 dollars for a 3x3 when i can get a big coob which i like more for the same price)

it's clearly still top tier and fits a niche that no modern cube does

Imo the performance is quite a bit worse than modern cubes, but each to their own I guess. You are right about it fitting a certain niche
