What is a good cheap mech mod with brass contacts

[Jeremy Evans]

As the title states what is a good cheap mech with brass contacts? I just cant wrap my head around spending a ton of money for something that is a)hard to find or b)the same thing with an exclusive name on it. I would also like to add that if it looked slightly aesthetically pleasing too, thanks oh and possibly one that telescopes

The Natural is stainless steel with chrome plated brass contacts. A little bit of 400 grit sand paper takes the chrome plating right off, and performs excellent. One of the easiest to mod IMO. The button is a little firm, and the lock ring for the button sucks, but it's a great performer, looks good (IMO) and fairly durable. Also has an adjustable center pin which a lot of the cheaper mods do not. Personally I put a solid brass negative post in place of the spring loaded stock post since I use the same batteries most of the time, and it performs great. Next mod will be a nylon bushing pressed into the 510 connection with a brass pin that slides to adjust, similar to the EA mod. Have yet to do it, but it will happen one of these weekends.

You're definitely right regarding the firmness of the button. It is just too firm, but there is a very easy fix. If you anneal the spring in the button, it makes the button much better and easier to push. Just hold the spring over the stove and when it glows for one second ....you're done. It is very easy to do.

Very cool. Just so you know you don't need a custom wrench to take off the switch. Just twirl the locking nut of the switch into its lock mode. When the switch is locked continue to turn the locking nut counter clockwise as hard as you can...the switch will come off....again very easy to do.
