"If the screw comes all the way out it's a real pain to get it back in without cross threading."

Had this very thing happen on an R1 and if the screw does seperate from the clamp, one can remove the back strap from the outlet, seperate the 2 halves of the outlet body and this then gives access to the screws/clamps which can be reassembled and then just reverse order to reassemble the outlet.

Keep in mind that the backstrap has a VERY snug fit around the 2 halves and one needs to draw back on either the top or the bottom of the strap to release it from the outlet molding depressions.

Thanks kenster, that's good to know. There is a rivet (or so it appears) on the back which I assumed held the backstrap to the body, obviously not.

Three of my R1s came with screws loose in the box. I got them back in, but managed to cross thread one. I put two metal skewers (for trussing birds) in the wire holes to hold the clamp against the screw hole and was able to get the screw threaded properly again. However it's nice to know you can repair/replace an internal part and not the whole outlet.

Regards,
Jerry

  All my Oyaides have a small Phillips screw securing the backstrap which screws into an elongated nut/standoff which holds the 2 halves together and also provides the screw hole for the outlet cover.
  
  Funny, I also managed to get a clamp screw cross threaded as well but after disassembling the outlet, I put the clamp in a vise and was then able to get the clamp screw in straight :-)

    Thanks Guys for your informative posts. They were a great help!
    
    I received the R1 yesterday and was able to install it in my UPC-200 as per Jerry's instructions and managed to resolve a cross threading problem by taking the outlet apart as per kenster's posts. Next step would be to replace the inlet on the UPC-200 as per Duster's earlier post.
    
    Overall, I'll let my system burn in for a while before making an ultimate decision but initially it does seem that the R1 has all of the positive characteriscs that others have already noted on the Asylum!
