Paul,

I don't know if it is worth repairing, but it is certainly worthwhile
taking it apart to see if it's just a bad connection.

I use the TP100 for my snare.  I have not tried to fit it on the rack
- I use a separate snare stand.  That is one of the advantages - no
crosstalk and more freedom of positioning.

Keith.
