Flat Top Buttons in at CoV!

[Major]

Well my damn PC shorted and fried (Literally) early last evening. I can't do my P&P serial reservations from a freakin phone so I had to go to a neighbors house just to do the update of the P&P list.

So not only do I miss my button and tubd but now I gotta buy a new PC as well. I would be a bald face liar if I said I wasn't ...... off. Now I gotta get my .... back home so this lady can use her PC.

I'll be back on as soon as I can.

The way I look at it,the way the used prices are soaring,I decided to be content with my collection and will add only new stuff from now on,so having all that budget available...2 it is

Edit: and they will be my out and about PVs,so better get 2 if I ever break one or God forbid...lose one.

Or stolen like one of my SSGGTS's 2 weeks ago from my briefcase in a locked car.

Actually, the thief took the whole frickin' briefcase. I've been looking for someone in that part of town with half their face blown off (if they put the 6V batts in the wrong way)

One can always hope

Sorry to hear.

I hope the sorry SOB finds his maker at the front of a 60 mph Amtrak.

Have always felt that thieves need to be executed on sight along with other assorted scum of the earth in the fight to stop crime. Bullets have a notorius tendency to do that.

We demand a new ggtb tubes batch,with reservation like p&p this time!!!!!


Yarrrrr!!!!

Now this is the best way to deal with criminals. Like to see a bounty put on them

 

[CaptSteve]

Friends trust me that guy will get what he deserves, life has a way of doing that

 

[Serpent67]

I agree, but Karma needs to be helped along and expedited sometimes.

New flat tops are the bomb!! But I can't stop switching between my newly acquired rounded brass magnet button and the new flat one. I switch almost 3 times a day. Guess I'm going to have to get another GGTS so I don't have to keep switching buttons.

 

[Huffelpuff]

I still haven't gotten the button off of my TS to replace it. Keep looking at it and am a bit intimidated - don't want to risk scratching by monkeying around w/ the button. Think will save it for my new tube that's coming - will look good on a shiny little stealth.

Sorry to hear huff. Have you tried using a spray of somesort to try and help loosen that grip?

Maybe a pair of gardener gloves (palm rubberized) could help without fear of damaging something (I use them all the time, are very useful for those tasks)

 

[Huffelpuff]

I haven't really tried too much yet. Will wait till the new tube comes and decide then. Will try to use some WD40 and the gloves, it'll probably work just wasn't as smooth to pull out as I expected. Just a bit cautious w/ these types of things - like to spend a good deal of time w/ them rather than mess something up.

 

[blackwater]

I hear ya. I'm sure you'll get it with the gloves and a good spay of the wd40 and letting it sit a while. Dish gloves usually work wonders

Huff, you must get that button off, sooner or later you must take apart and clean it. I just had a button that would not come off on my new aluminum. Capt. suggested putting it in the freezer for awhile (bottom tube only) I did that and it still wouldn't come off, even with using rubber grippers.

Finally put a micro fibre on in and used pliers lightly till it gave. Just do that and be careful. I alway put a tad of vaseline on button threads too for just in case.

 

[Bubbertyboo]

I have just noticed the back part of the button that makes the contact isnt brass its steel mine was miss firing so gave it a fine bit of emery paper and its silver underneath?

 

[CaptSteve]

Bubber all buttons are like that
