Why do you think that pin is a pos?
positive pin suppose it could be neg (negative) depending on battery orientation I spose. its a fine pin... brass... but otherwise fine. kickin around the idea of making all electrical connections sterling silver. also thinking of doing the Mundy thing with the strip from neg batt contact to 510 post. goal is to have everything that carries current (except 510) sterling silver. just playin around because I recently scored some sterling silver sheet as well as a 6 gauge sterling silver rod.
Back in the day I put a 4 track head on a cassette player and a DPDT switch to flip tracks so I could play backwards to check out the supposed "back masking".
"Got no love, no love you call real" <=> "Oh you know I see my lucifer"
But only on the first chorus, no hint of anything intelligible backwards on the second.
I superimposed the first and second chorus and could not detect a difference.
If they did it on purpose I got to give that audio engineer some kudos.
Spooky stuff.

#6 bare copper is what I threaded to replace the brass with copper.
Also had to tap out the threads in OliveR to loosen it up some since the copper is softer.
Sterling might be soft enough to get into trouble?
Anywho, just so you know I didn't get any appreciable improvement in voltage drop with copper.
So if you want to just because you can go for it.
But you wont gain enough electrically to make a difference.
Wow, it was tough catching up on posts.
You guys can really rack'em up.
I have had a string of bad days in my recuperation, but today is good day so far.

Thanks, just playin around. The silver rod is soft but not as soft as I would have thought. Think I'm most interested in saying "ya its all solid silver"
and not so much chasing uber low voltage drop which I think will come naturally. My mod's wood is delicate so I prob won't be running a tap through that part and definitly won't be taking it apart unless I have everything thought out and ready to go. I will play with the sizing on the silver rod though and if it won't thread easy then I'll forget it.Edit: Glad to hear you are doing better.
Sounds like a painful surgery to have. I have a small hernia but doc says we'll just watch it.

Good to hear your having a good day. May your good days soon outnumber the bad.
Mundy and I were talking about what it would take to thread a 64.5mm length of 6g silver. Having been threading a bunch of 1/2" lengths .. . .. I wouldn't think it'll work so good. My silver is dead soft and the amount of torque required to run the die on it bends and twists it up pretty good by the time I get to 1/2-5/8". Also, the die doesn't center up on it. Mundy said that's pro'ly cause the 6 gauge is a bit narrow for the die.
ADDIT: but i would like it if you tried. it would be good to know if it's an option.
Also, you know a lot of these silver places buy the scrap back too.

It's good to hear that today is a good day for you Mundy! Hang in there, I highly recommend some Netflix marathons on your favorite lazyboy 
If you guys are designing atty's I have a few recommendations:
* Built in (because screw 510)
* Use spring loaded posts
* AFC
* Adjustable Chamber size (either by use of different caps or by something like Turbo's adjuster)

I'm not a jeweler or metal smith, but is there any worth in the idea of casting the silver into a threaded mold, then chase the threads afterwards?
Not sure I'm that adventurous
what would be ideal is a thread rolling machine I think.
He doesn't need it because he has friends that have it, some that are freakin ninjas with it too
Val, that mod is totally gorgeous! Is it heading overseas? I don't get the rest. Keeping my fingers crossed for you though....and toes!
Jokes aside, I think you're the very first one to wish me luck.
My sincerest thanks! I do hope it makes it this time.
I wish you luck too Val! Didn't realize it was a business venture, I thought it was a for- some- profit Dibi venture. Lol
