now i have something to do today that looks dope i didnt wanna do anything to my tank cause i didnt want the logo to get messed up but it looks good
Thanks for the compliments! First I disassembled, then reassembled without the pyrex. Then I took a regular ol Scotch Brite sponge (dry). The green one. Just kind of cupped it and spun the atty back and forth on the scratchy side. Didn't even have to do it for that long or apply too much pressure. Just made sure the color was uniform and matched the mod. Didn't do a wet-sand. The sponges cost me $3. Easy peasy!
Just guessing here, but the first run hybrids were scheduled for some time in the next week with the v2 eta 4-6 weeks later.

by scotch brite pad, do you mean the yellow and green dish sponge?
industrial scotchbrite
most hardware stores have it, and will often sell it by the pad so you don't have to buy the whole box. several "grit" levels from extra coarse to extra fine.
Though he very well may have used the dish-sponge type? I'm curious myself!

I used the dish-type sponge. Funny, huh? I would've never thought it could have worked if I didn't google "brushed richman rba" and saw it on another site. I bought the sponge one so I could use it on the dishes when I was done!
*sigh*...
I've been itching to get my mitts on a Richman RBA for a while now. I keep reading this thread and grumbling

I bought a AGA T2 Fauxgotti top cap from Kidney Puncher. It arrived yesterday and I was very happy to find that it fits my Richman V1 perfectly. The air hole on the Fauxgotti is higher than the V1 Richman, so no more weeping. Now I have to put a brushed finish on my Richman and I'll have one beautiful atty. I guess I'll also have to order another cap for my AGA T2.

I love mine but the weeping hole gets on my nerves too. Drilling another small hole above the original helped with the tight draw, but it still weeps. I still think the original cap, although it could probably be a little shorter, looks best on it. Total industrial look. Let us check it out after you brush it though!
agreed BD. I sealed the stock hole w/ resin and drilled a new hole above it. Problem solved.
Has anyone had any problems getting stainless steel cable to work as a wick? I am getting constant shorting.....
Also, has anyone tried replacing the two center post nuts with a spring/washer system (ie. like the RSST employs)? I find the nuts difficult to work with
Thanks!!

I use SS cable without any issues at all it shouldn't be a problem to convert them to spring/washer setup as well so long as you can find a small enough washer and spring to fit.
