I'm finally really getting excited! Don't stop polishing and assembling, Dave. (j/k-you can eat & sleep)

Yes, they are expensive. In machining, it all comes down to the steps, tool changes and time involved. With the super six, there are alot of machining steps that others don't have. The fishmouth, the 30 degree vent holes, the grooves, knurling, button, all require tool changes and often unchucking and rechucking of them from the lathe to the mill. The caps are one of the more unique (and time consuming)caps found on the market as the threads are integral and machined into the cap itself, not the 2 dollar pre made press in adapters that many mods use. (and not that there is really any wrong with those, but it just comes down to cost).
I look at the Super6 as the Lexus or Rolex of PV's, something that you are definitely proud to own. It's a great conversation piece
I am looking into a simpler, less expensive version that eliminates all the more complex machining steps, but that is a ways off, so stay tuned.

I was looking at your order today as i was pulling out bodies to polish and no kidding, I thought, Lynn is going to be happy!
This Super Six will be my best mod yet. I cant say enough how unique this mod is. The detailed caps and body just stands out. You did a hell of a job coming out with your design.
I have a question can I add to my order for a 901 cap as well? I want to be able to use my cartimizers with this. Is this okay or will it add to the time that I will get mine? I know this is kinda last minute and I apologize for this. But if you cant at this time its not a problem at all. I can order later on when things are back to normal for ya when all the order are filled and sent on there way. I fully understand how little time you have ahead of you to get all your orders filled.

Sure You can Jboze...So you want a brass button rather then an aluminum one correct? Or did you want an aluminum and a brass one? Shoot me a PM, otherwise it'll get lost in the posts here.

You sure can grimdog, you can just order it online and i'll add it to your order...

Awwww, Dave,
I love you!
Will you be my second son? Lynn
Sent PM too but yes, just a brass button. Don't need/want 2 buttons.
If you're thinking you want to, shoot me a PM. I'd really like a shot at it.
Really nice deep knurling on the adapters
Excellent design on the tailcap / button.
I actually hope you don't fall back to cheaper machining / designs.
You compared it to a Rolex and I don't think they offer an economy model.
It's the high end machining and attention to detail that sets you apart from the ones in it to see how many thousands they can crank out by substituting quality and design for quantity.

I would have to agree with Brock.
I have been following your progress from the beginning, because of pride in craftsmanship shown in each of your designs. There are plenty of devices in the current market at low end pricing and many will still provide for the intended use.
What sets Super-T apart is a well thought out design, executed to perfection. The end result is a pice of art that will work every time and outlast any of the competition.
Anyone can market a cheap PV but, you get what you pay for. I speak from experience here as I have tried a bunch of mods while waiting for my Super-6 and not all were less expensive.
How many devices hit the market without major development issues? How many continue to perform over time? (Even a short time for many.)
My Super-6 is the star of the show and will continue as such.
Thanks again for the best device on the market.

P.S. I will expect nothing less than Lexus quality with the performance of a Corvette, in my Mini.
They look really nice to me and after years of seeing high precision parts for luxury products come off the CNC line, I'm not easy to impress.
I think they will look even sexier once there is a little tarnishing on the inner recesses of the cap's knurling to accent the dimensionality of the detailing. Think diamonds against a platinum background or the knurling on a classic German camera.
I ordered my caps and button in brass. I'm not worried about the weight but I am a little concerned about the balance. If, once I've had a chance to use mine, I want to add an aluminum cap or two, will you continue to stock them?

I was fortunate enough to try another very popular, and heavy, new model last night and was unimpressed by its plastic switch, which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. This has pushed me in the direction of this machine, especially since the other one I had an interest in seems completely sold out for the foreseeable future.
So, I am wondering is the SS still in pre-order land, or can I really get one, like now?
