How did you blacken the copper head?
Thanks guys :+1:
I use cold bluing solutions for darkening metals.
Yes, nice simple tweaking.
No real stress, just a bit of spare time filled with minor tasks that make a nice little difference when completed.
Blackening?…please tell.
Anti rattle film? …I am curious yellow.
Nice work. The black head looks cool but I kinda like the showy copper.
Very nice.
Did you double up the rear spring by adding the front spring? I assume this is equivalent to a bypass.
I was lucky; no glue on mine.

Interesting! Can you provide a link to what you use? I can see a number of uses for this in my mods.

How about a compromise
Thread updated with new stuff about the head rebuilding and i think i’ve answered those who asked questions there.
Thanks for reading.
Pimp master.
Wow CRX. the black in the heatsink slots looks great!
Hmm… after seeing the innards of yours I’m inclined to follow suit and do some tweaking. Nice looking head, too. Did you rub off the coating and will it patina now?
Thanks for posting this up
Thanks for posting this very nice pictorial of the build and tweaks!
Is this copper?
Please, I need confirmation.
my S41 is glued so i can’t open it without damaging the head :person_facepalming:

It looks like we are looking at nickel. All Noctigons are very thin coated gold on the outside, nickel underneath to help the with the gold bonding, and then the solid copper under the nickel. Around the indentations, you can see all 3 layers.
The gold can be removed practically waving super fine grit sandpaper over it, while the nickel takes a little bit of rubbing. I've sanded down many a Noctigons over the years.
