Hi ECF and Friends,
Today I'm asking the community and calling all modders for help. I have a brand new Gus22 and Gus Tele that I want to mod because I want a brass post rather then the spring and screw post that it comes with.....where can I get a brass positive post like the EA mod or the chi you mod. I want to install that type of post on my gus mods.... sos sos sos calling all modders....lol

all I need now is for katarina from atmomixiani to send me a brass button and a fastener to mod the switch and this thing will be rocking!!

The next step will be to install the button from a gus22 switch on the gus tele switch for better conductivity.....the screw alone increased conductivity with minimal power lost but with the guss22 switch it hits perfectly..
I don't understand why gus changed the button on the switch for the gus tele :confused:, all he had to do was keep the button, add the knurling on the lock ring and chrome the bottom of the switch or keep it bronze with out the guss logo on the botton... the gus 22 switch makes better contact and provides better conductivity, hardly any power loss with the screw in place of the spring as a positive pole.
These lil gus mods are amaizing, there built solid, look great with a number of attys and feel good in the hand. They just need a lil adjusting......:D

Paps Voltage drop solved.
I was only getting 3.2v under load with a freshly charged (4.2v) IMR.
This loss was finally tracked to the puny hotspring.
I inserted some Brass bar from my local hobby shop into a battery drill and spun it up to machine it to fit into the spring sleeve in the Paps. I use a file for the first stage and then with 250grit sandpaper then 1200grit to finish before polishing.
The 18350and 18500 batteries required slightly different length posts, so I made one for each.
I used a very short cut section (about two turns ) of the original hotspring to create some give/spring when tightening the endcaps of the Paps.
I am aware of the risk of not having a hotsping in line and only run this with genesis setup the are rock solid, and only ever with IMR safe chemistry batteries, I still reinstall an original hotspring when setting up new coils and if I am in ANY doubt of the stability of my setup then again, I use the standard hotspring.
Result: I now get 3.85-3.9v under load with a 0.7 Ohm coil.
I am happy, but ever vigilant due to the lack of the safety the hotsping provided.
