cloud wiz--plz convince jim to give us #1 and #2
Number 1 and 2 will be for Jim and Hlias
OMG!!! I gotta get one now for sure. That's great news!!! I was hoping for a remodel of that bottom delrin. SWEET!!!yes, yes, don't know, maybe
I love that the hybrid connector gets rid of the 510 and that the switch (yes bottom/lockable
Let's hope the kids don't finish their vocabulary lessons out on the street now that they're not getting them at home.
PUT A SATIN ON MY TAB PLEASE!! lol. Oh I wish!!!
but I'll be baaaaaack, someday, sometime, ... so hide a Satin under the cabinet for me lol.
PS. Make mine an #11. (one above and all that y'know lol)

Hlias says first run won't be numbered (they'll need some time to sort out the sequencing between tubes, D16s and hybrids)
It's kinda cool to me. MMV will always have serial #'d replacement parts available one day but the early non-#'d items are like a limited run.
Just stumbled across a video of the DID you all might like.

When you say I have too much tension on the top leg. You are meaning the center post?
Sorry, I'm still new to the terms.
Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about the tip where I should use a weak battery. Will try this when I get the chance!
G'day all, nice to see some postings again. Hope you are all well enjoying warm weather, damn cold here in South Australia

Hey Burnie! We're having a heatwave here 105f heat index...
Wow ! That is elegant !
I love it !
poldiac has me stumped.
It won't fire... if i put a multimeter on the top cap and post and fire it, multimeter shows 4 volts.... but it wont fire with anything I put on it. (pretty advanced user btw...)

If your getting power with a multimeter, the switch is working. I'd look at making sure the atty 510 connector and top cap threads are clean and then look at adjustment of the top contact. The little adjustable contact is reverse threaded so twist it clockwise till the atty makes contact with about 1/8th turn from where you want it to end up and then snug the atty by tighten that last 1/8th turn.
Yea, thanks, i've had the poldi since like... late january? Tried a few atty's, new kayfun, helios, nimbus, normal 510 atty, etc... contacts are clean

I'm no EE, but i'm wondering if there is enough ground to meter, but not enough ground to pass voltage to the positive under load? maybe it's my spring or something.
are the threads clean too? I have had this with my Poldiac and after I cleaned every single thread (yes I just decided to do all, so even the threads that screw the end cap with the spring on) it worked again like before. Threads definitely matter, and the threads of the 510 on the atty matter too.
I hate springs (but know they're still a necessary evil). If you haven't already try doubling up the spring by simply twisting the spare into the current one (tightens the batt contact and like a dual-coil halves the resistance of the spring)
