Also, don't panic if you miss out. We'll be putting up smaller batches every week. We don't want to get more then 1-2 weeks behind at any one time, so we aren't putting them all up at once.

Also, we will have spare bottom posts and top post screw in assembly.

will the ones being posted up today have the Rhodium plated contacts?

They have Precious Metal Palladium plating. We won't be doing the Rhodium anymore, the platters keep ruining batches of parts and we have to remachine a batch for them (you can't replate rhodium if they screw it up and Rhodium is very hard to plate compared to Palladium). Rhodium and Palladium are both members of the Platinum group and neither will ever corrode or tarnish, the only significant difference is the hardness rating and after having parts in the field with both Rhodium and Palladium, we are seeing no wear differences making the extra hardness a mute point, so we are going to be going with Palladium from here on out.

Thanks for the clarification.

David , do you still plan on making those solid tubes? Will they fit new ELAs and old?

Does anyone know what the OD is for the ELA top cap? I was also hoping for a brushed finish instead of satin on today's release. Or is the ELA satin more like a brushed look vs. the original satin that was released in the past?

 

[vaptamist]

I believe it's 24.6mm. I could be wrong!

Super-T satin is not the same satin that a lot of greek vendors use. A satin ELA would be media-blasted. Polished is more of a brushed finish.

Here is Satin:

Here is Polished:

And...... they are sold out now...... WOW

 

[vaptamist]

Did they even go up? I must've missed it.

 

[StrikeIII]

not yet i've been watching it. Thanks vaptamist for the info.

 

[anavidfan]

oh, cool, forgot the usual "tardiness"

 

[vaptamist]

looks like batch of 40 in stock now.

 

[anavidfan]

I think I will be passing, I want to see the changes first......... I wish all those that have been waiting get lucky......

 

[StrikeIII]

YES, finally got me an ELA! Woohoo!

 

[snork]

Hi there.

 

[vaptamist]

YES, finally got me an ELA! Woohoo!

Congrats! Glad you got one

 

[StrikeIII]

I was getting worried for a sec, for a while it was saying in stock but when I added it to cart it kept saying out of stock. Had to do it a few times before it updated the status. Whew

 

[StrikeIII]

I just hope the changes are for the better and not cause a big uproar, I figured I'd take my chances.

 

[vaptamist]

Yeah, I'm curious what the changes are, and also about the spare parts.

 

[HauntedMyst]

What changes were there? The one on the website just has a choice of top cap. I've been on the site since 2 and haven't seen anything different other than the ELA's went on sale with a choice of top cap. That's not a new feature, just a different choice. What did I miss?
