I asked for that reason. :) Mike wanted number 001-006 shipped back to him. You already know that I see. He has mine and just let me know the other day he hasn't forgotten about it. He's just been a tad busy.

I knew. I am just afraid to ship it and lose it. I thought I would bring it back to chicago with me. :)

i heard hes already working on it :?:

I'm afraid without replacing the mechanical switch with an electric, I don't forsee it happening. The way the mechanical buttons close the circuit is reliable but not a hard closure. You're relying on the sides of the button to make contact to close the circuit. The outside diameter of the button with the inside diameter of the housing. While it's a sound connection most of the time, there is movement, causing the electrical path to change for fractional moments. The Kick is seeing those moments and causing misfires. It could possibly be remedied by a tighter machining tolerance between the button and switch housing but could limit the button throw. The contact of the negative screw could then be compromised without some kind of compression or adjustment agent. Therefore creating another spot for shorts and/or another spot of lost conductivity. That's part of the reason Mike built the APV's for certain batteries. As exacting as his machining specs are, the length of the AW IMR's were figured into his design for that reason.
