Repairing Wenger Classic Shells

Posted by Shelly "The Machine" Levine on 5/2/2022, 11:29 am

So after our concert the other day a student was cranking down (lowering) one of our Wenger shells and when they let go of the crank it shot back up halfway. Called Wenger to come out and look at it (and a couple other broken shells we have) and I was told that since we purchased this in 2009 they no longer service or repair this item. We should just replace it. I'm not qualified in any way to try to fix this thing, but has anyone been able to hire a third party to work on your Wenger shells? It seems wasteful to get rid of a perfectly good shell because of a mechanical issue.

Their stands- especially their stands- and shells are over priced and of poor quality. If you replace them shop for another brand, at least you will save some money and not feel so bad when you dispose of them (most likely they will be better quality anyway)
Sorry I can't help you with this, I bet a local handy man could get the shell working again, good luck.

Wenger Shells are for closers only.
