    GGTB #554????????????? But ggtb's dont come serial'd

    My If the tube is stamped with the number it will be EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible, to polish out. If the end caps are nickel plated and scratched you'll have to have them re-plated or remove the plating entirely. Bottom line, in my opinion, it's a mess...... I wish I could...

    Brass Buttons almost ready

    You bet.....someone uses pliers and hacks it up or takes apart to clean and loses a part so they replace it with a new one.

    Brass Buttons almost ready

    Until he gets around to making some, get old broken brass ones and salvage the parts....the locking rings are interchangeable.

    I like the slightly domed look and feel as well....with a satin edge to give it some depth and adding a salvaged brass locking ring from an old switch for the 2 tone look. The thickness of the SS model gives us a lot of options to customize.

    where can i buy 1 earth magnet??

    One note of caution....make sure you have the polarity lined up before you epoxy the magnet. You don't want to install it and then realize it's repelling. It's a mess to correct.

    Based on the picture Bruce has online, it appears as though the new ones ARE adjustable. Here's a couple of the old style to compare.....looks like it to me. We'll know for sure when they arrive.

    ggts top tubes

    Dude....I have to ask; How do you lose an end cap? If Bruce doesn't have one in stock, I have a new NP'ed one I was gonna make into a passthru but can put the project on hold if you need it.

    connector pin on Odysseus broken?

    email Bruce at COV and let him know the situation....maybe he can get one in the mail to you. Other than that, can you solder it to get by until you get the part?

    ODY using Nextel XC-116 without Moding Ceramic...

    I agree....but with the exception of making the side channels fit the 116 because it, my opinion, provides the best wicking. Also, I finally got time to make a coil using the "kiln fired" 116 and it's FAR superior to torch firing it. The material, for whatever reason, is more flexible so I...

    Mod Help pleeeeeaaaase...

    You're making a Fistpack and the tutorial is online (Google search). It might be easier to just do that instead of trying to modify a mod that's designed for a pot. Fistpack is a GREAT mod and perfect for what you want to do.

    Polishing GG's

    Never polish over the engravings; protect them and then polish. I can't say it strongly enough....learn about buffs, rouge, AND TECHNIQUES before polishing your GGTS. There are a lot of GGTS's out there that have been abused by enthusiastic owners. Please be careful.....

    Buttons - Get the low down on the hits !!

    Me either; in fact magnets have some advantages over springs; but I like both so it's good to have the option. The new SS button works really well with a 2 magnet setup. The throw is the same and has good resistance.

    Buttons - Get the low down on the hits !!

    That would certainly work, but the question is "Does the extra surface make any difference?" Dunno....and won't know unless I do it. I have a feeling I'll end up at the beginning....best results are a switch that's in great shape. lol I kind of like the idea of a "pressure switch". A really...
