Pretty Frikkin' Sweet.

I liked your ideas for color, but I probably would've gone with black Powder Coating in the grooves only and nickel plating for the shroud and maybe the box, too. Nickel...

I'm considering upgrading the guts of my Crash Test Dummy (currently an Ultrasound 2.5 that I do a lot of setups on to test out the Lux III red-orange, various Lux V's and P4s on before slapping them...

Anyone else still not receive their upgrade yet? I think I've shown a great deal of patience and calm here, the one episode of snarkiness aside, but it's been over five months and still not a peep,...

Spectre's Prediction on hearing anything about our US cards - October.


2021.

...and what we'll hear is that there's been a slight delay at the manufacturer. :D

31 flavors of awesome!

Voted number 2 - largely because I can't afford the quality work that makes me drool from other sabermiths. If I had to describe my "type" it'd be somewhat from each of N-Star's types, but I also...

Can be summed up in one word:

Suh-weeeet!

Heh. Prepare for Ferret Shock! :D

For once, I'm happy the lovely Central New York winter's kept me out of my shop, then. :) I can get the boards I've already got for mine and my fiancee's sabers retooled to deal with the lower...

In the words of the late Steve Irwin: Crikey!

A resistor will work, but it's a bowling-shoe ugly solution. For everything they do, (regulate current, specifically - a resistor just chokes off current and converts it to heat, Buckpuck=longer...

Heh. Preorderd one, myself. Already got a CF4 that will eventually go in my Graflex, once I get off my butt and start working on gutting it. I just hope Tim's still got those Cyan Lux V's in stock...

Actually, for a limited-run, handmade and custom item of very high quality, where demand can be close to quadruple (or more) of the available supply, the neighborhood of $400 in a semi-blind auction...

fekkin awesome :D

Okay, I have well and truly "buttered my toast" - gone so far as to rewire everything (changing parts out for different parts as well), including the battery, piece by piece, to eliminate...

In all seriousness, I got all dejected and figured I'd never see a CF in my life, especially after the "gone in less than five minutes" debacle. Erv' trickled a few more out (i knew the day, but not...

Definitely a nice piece of work - beats the pants off any MR board, hands down. I never did like the thought of all the jerry-rigging involved in trying to get a Joe Jedi board in a saber. :D

Using a Radio Shack plug-in iron with a high heat 15W setting and a lower heat 30W setting (I've never trusted battery operated tools of any stripe, and the idea of "cold" soldering... just ugh),...

Actually, Gundamaniac deserves mad props just for being able to solder a K2. I tried everything from a hobby file to harsh language, and the pads on my K2's won't hold solder at all - it just balls...

Nova, you rock in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround! :D

Yep - I have Erv's quickref and owner's manual saved on my desktop - that's what I used to find the switch setting parameter, and to know not to set it to, say, eleventy billion. :D (well, calling it...

Further reporting - copied all the cf files to a "test bench" folder, changed the "switch" parameter to 1, now it's pull dummy plug, saber ignites. Still ignores ignition switch. Tomorrow, I'll set...

@eastern57: that little checklist is a precise indicator of what happens.

@Novastar: Nope, haven't started playing with the parameters yet. I figured I'd wait until I had the thing up and...

Follow-up question:

I've got my CF 4.0 wired exactly as above, with my aux button a momentary switch and my on/off switch being a latching, both switches from right here in Tim's shop. I pull the...

thirty-seven, according to the calendar. In many ways, I don't think I stopped being a sixteen-year-old boy, though, and in other ways, I haven't moved past six. :D
