Here is a bit of additional information on the Lightning throw off transition period

For nearly 2 decades during the The Gretsch Microsensitive model 4160 Chrome over Brass snare
drum featured the finicky Microsensitive throw of ...They should have called this model the the Renown
but thankfully they had already used that name on an even more under designed throw off.
The microsensitive, while trendy in its time and a great Throw when kept in perfect order was fragile,
delicate and are and probably were often found broken.  Aside from the wear and alignment issue with the
Microsensitive its drive arm was a very weak casting and if the snare throw mechanism was not
operated properly often over stressed the weak link. Many are found with no arms and the sad part is
that the interior components are often damaged as well. Thankfully, at the later part of the round badge era Gretsch switched to the new Lightning throw off which still worked in conjunction with the 4 point
adjustable butt end which was also phased out a few years into the SSB era with the onset of the
fishtail design. The lightning throw has proven to span nearly 30 Plus years and is in use by Gretsch
to this day and the only real issues come from the loss of the snare cord pinch plate or
from guide pin damage from a fall or droping on the throw.
