What’s the funny looking thing on the desk? No, not the glowing cube. The grey thing with all of the buttons. :confounded:
Isn’t that a fax machine?
Naw, pretty sure it’s a copier. An ex-ee-rox, I think.
You got me, that’s got to be it.
Actually, it’s just a touch tone multi-line office phone. Not a Xerox/copier. The back has a slot for holding papers… Back in the late 1960’s copiers / fax machines were much, MUCH larger.
I finally finished my brass s2 clone triple - just waiting for the illuminated tail cap….
Wow!
How much current are you going to be running in that?
I have no idea - electronics is my weak point… the driver is an A17dd as in the X6 - it’s powerful though and wipes out my fw3a totally when side by side. I thought the fw3a was more powerful, but it would ‘look’ not. Maybe it is on paper, I dunno lol (maybe it’s coz it’s slightly more focussed). I have the hi’s in my fw3a too!
Nice work GO0SE 
Looks good. Since you use a lathe, maybe you can widen the bezel opening slightly (without compromising the slot for the o-ring) to get more light out.
Now I discussed this……… I thought about ‘unholing’ the holes lol - as in rounding the bezel to the 3 circles/lenses.
CRX pointed out the o ring (which is kinda square and you can see in the pics) might pop out. I think he’s right. It would look funky, but you’d have to lose the ring - maybe silicone the optic in around top edge off the optic if waterproofing were a worry - but it could be done.
Still, I don’t think I’ll bother…….yet……
I am looking to put goldish leds on the illuminated tailcap, and am getting some goldy/yellow gitd powder for a gasket.
I may get another one later and sell it/ them now I know what’s involved …. I’m kinda in love with this one now, it’s moved into my 3 faves….and because i made it, it’s all the better lol! (more so it works) 
Thank mate! 
Wow. Some orsm mods and builds going on. Love the work guys. 
Stellar pictorial. Just swapped a sw40 R9080 into mine and it looks so much nicer than the low CRI “NW” XPL. A little spottier but that offsets the marginal decrease in lumens. Mine also had arctic silver thermal paste (or similar), though it is now replaced with arctic alumina…
Finally got this one done. Dropped a 4000K 219C in a SPL-120. Unlocked the stock driver.
Is the output noticably higher than before?
It’s pretty significant, especially in the highest mode. I really hated the stock emitter.
What pill was in it?
The one on the right
