Yeah, I'd like a tutorial on sanding and polishing these see-gal-EYEs too! My #8 has a couple of scratches in it now (bound to happen sooner or later) so I might as well make it pretty

yes i used a drill at low speed, i tried doing by hand at first but it was going too slowly for my patience...
even with a drill the top cap took a while to get the chrome off...
FYI gormly responded in the DV thread, those bottom buttons are the ones pictured, the #9's. He updated the item title.
My #8 is threadlocked on the housing and switch. Any pics of the assembly taken apart by any chance?
Anyone remember how much heat they applied, assuming no one used a blowtorch or anything.
you don't need to take the entire assembly off the body to apply the washer/spacer/paperclip fix for the button
I understand that, but thanks.
Anyone else have pics of the asembly taken part? Or remember how much heat to apply to remove the threadlocked switch?

You're lucky I guess
Mine's on there like its threadlocked or machine torqued. Already tried pliers, etc. Unless its reverse threaded or something.
No one with thread specs on the 19?
I eventually have a 19 coming and want to make a low profile top cap.
Does anyone know what the thread specs are for the top cap?
Also how true is the diameter?
I will finish the diameter to match once I receive it, mainly just curious. Most of the 22mm attys look pretty close on it.
It's a shame they don't make different options for the top cap because you can really trim some length off a mod eliminating the well.
CCTS slimmed down (sorry for the mess)
Thanks to forg1vn for posting the pics! I wasn't looking forward to taking mine apart again.
I used a bic lighter... a refugee from my old smoky days
Passed the flame over the button a few times, grabbed two pair of needle nose pliers and it *unscrewed* right apart. I intended to put some loctite blue on it or something but haven't done so yet. The button is staying on there but I check it once in awhile just in case. I suggest having some thread lock goo on hand for re-assembly.And again, be careful of loosing that spring!!! It's TINY! Much smaller than you would think, looking at those photos.
I'm bummed....my order will be in the next batch, and have to tell ya, getting discouraged my #19 won't show or won't work if it does come in. It's been a long day, I'll decide in the morning if I want a refund or not.

If you don't get a refund, and you don't like the #19 shoot me a pm I WILL BUY IT FROM YOU!!!!!

If you got in at a good price, I'd say stick with it. The #19 was already serviceable, and I think the delays were to address some of it's issues.
The prices are already creeping up, and I have a feeling with the runs on stock and the popularity increasing on a few of the models that's its likely to get worse. I've found a couple sites even listing different models as #8 or #19, and with much higher prices already.
Yes I got in at a good price....maybe I'll stick it out...maybe not. I really hope by now I would have had something...I put off ordering the ccts or k100 since this price was so good.
cant go wrong with a k100 either, its like $35 right? sand the contacts and it hits like a champ im told
They are out of stock again. I'll pm you the link. Also, if you click on new mods it is the first one on the page.

I'm still holding out on a K100, waiting to see what they've done with the K101.
I love my k100! It gets 90% of my time! Hang in there and get one when you get a chance. They are awesome! I kinda want to get another...
