A local disc golf course recently replaced their old Mach IIIs with shiny new Discatchers. The Mach IIIs were auctioned off, and I was luck enough to win one.
So I get it, and find out it was sawed-off at the base. The only easy use for this is as a portable target, which I'm fine with.
This brings me to the purpose of this post. DGA started using a smaller diameter center pole around 1998 or so, and this basket is circa 1991 and has the larger (2") diameter pole. What this means is that the standard off-the-shelf mach series base from DGA will not fit around the pole on the old baskets.
So, now I'm looking at either making my own base, or trying to find something available to fit. Any ideas?
I want to avoid replacing the entire center pole, as the chains assembly and cage would not have a tight fit without shims.
I'm thinking all of the other auction winners may be looking for the same thing, so any answers would not just benefit me FWIW. Thanks!
