Is there a way to convert the set screw on the draw tube to a compression ring? thank you, Bill

Hi Bill
I had this same question about my TV101. I talked to Al, and it depends on the width of the ring on the end of the draw tube. If it is a narrow ring about 1/2" then it cannot be converted, however if it has the wider ring about 1" or wider (I can't remember how wide the wide ring is exactly) then they can convert it to the compression. I'm not sure if this holds true to the Pronto so a call to Televue will give you a positive answer.
Hope this helps
Buck
