You are right, my new WM was sent with a threaded neck hole, but the head connector is smooth with two little spring-loaded ball-bearings that are supposed to "click" into the threads. When I first heard this was coming out, I thought "well crap I guess I didn't need to buy Indigo's magnetic pieces for quick-change after all."theyankeejudge wrote:Hi, I just got my WM 168cm (5’6”) A-cup doll, w/the 273 head. Did wm send you the non-screw connector for your head? I call these connections 6ye type because that’s what they look like, I don’t know the proper name. If you did, do you think they are safe to use in the threaded neck hole? They sent me the removalabe 6ye type connection only.
The good news is the new head connector must be safe to use with the threaded neck piece because that is how it is shipped from the factory. The bad news is, I didn't like how it worked. I spent time fooling with adjusting the pressure on the ball bearings (there are allen-wrench set-screws) but couldn't ever get it to feel like it "clicked" in place securely.
So I did swap over to my pre-purchased magnetic quick-change pieces, and they work perfectly.
