I rechecked underload and measured from the negative post on the atty. The drop is now .36v. This looks more inline with reality. Initially, I couldn't get a steady read from touching the atty negative screw. This time I used a tight alligator clip. So no miracle mod here.
So from that Atmazoo link, the change is based upon added device resistance vs lack of device resistance. Thanks for that education Lhartman89. Good info..it put everything into perspective!

I had the weird tracking issue as well. Didnt show up in the system till this morning.
What do you guys think of using a brass shim in the button assembly instead of the NR wire? I found these at McMaster Carr. McMaster-Carr. Just not sure what size though till I get it in my hands.

I am going to get a piece of copper sheet from HD and make a ring to fit on the delrin and another to fit the opposite side of the spring, also gonna look for a hot spring.
That way its just brass to copper to body
I am really trying to get my hands on one of these.........I have missed them by less that an hour each time a vendor lists them as in stock 
Excuse my ignorance, but with the #19, what is the "no-resistance wire mod"?
Its to help with misfires. It completes the negative connection better than stock as far as I know. Here is a video that shows the addition of the NR wire mod.
Sigelei #19 Strip down and rebuild with a couple of tweeks - YouTube
Does anybody know if the threaded hole under the magnet or did you drill and tap it out yourself
No hole under the switch magnet, you gotta tap it yourself - or, just get a bolt that will fit the button cap hole.
So, my #19 button is always coming unscrewed on it's own. I've tightened it down with pliers and that keeps it together, but then it's quite difficult to get undone. Anyone got a better solution?
Could you fit a piece of dental floss or something in there to sorta bind it without damage?

The point of the fix isn't to connect current down to the button. You already have that. The button is connected directly to the brass switch. The point of the fix is to add the battery tube directly into the circuit. That is why the wire is used; because it travels laterally to the tube. If you use a brass or copper shim, it needs to touch the side of the mod in order for it to be effective. The problem with misfires is because the button will sometimes "float" without making contact with the housing (and thus the tube). If the spring is tied in to the tube via a conductor (piece of wire), then you won't ever get misfires. If the shim you place over the Delrin doesn't make contact with the tube and only the spring, it won't fix the occasional misfires.
19 Just came in today. Pretty freakin sweet for 28 bucks. Magnets need to go. Other that that and the button being a little firm, I love it. Magnets dont need to go really, but I think there is a bit of vdrop that could be fixed there. The thing works great out of the box though. THAT WOULD BE A FIRST FOR ME AND SEGELEI. I finally have something from china worth a polish job.
Got a new #19 today
Strange one as this one come with the Sig logo on the main tube, never had that on the first one I got.
Also noticed that the button was very hard to take to bits, ended up having the take a cutting disc to the bottom magnet and cut a slot on it so I could get a screwdriver on it.

I received my #19 yesterday. It also has a small Sigelei on the tube (not for long). Both of my magnets removed clean rather easily. I heated the button switch with a torch to soften any adhesive and pulled it right out with pliers. Going to tap a brass bolt inside.
Soooo....easiest way to remove the Sigelei logo? I don't have mine yet, haven't even ordered, but when/if I DO,
I'd like to remove it.
Fine grit sandpaper? Of course....I'd never do a clean job with that.....
