Was just messing around in the 'shop yesterday evening (Brushed Mills)

Post by Lonestar »

As I was trying to locate the mill for my "Blue is Better" TRX1 (see >here<), I ended up opening a box I hadn't messed with for quite a while... and boy there is more stuff in there than I remembered. Just thought I'd share some :)

some of the Brushed mills I have left, the "good condition to NOS ones":

Notice the Drastic's on the left? Any frenchies on the board? :mrgreen:

360 gold - Alloy head, long rotor (550) - and not the best condition really... how did it end in this box?!?

Crown Jewel... I didn't even remember I had one :shock:

Image

I think this is actually the first time I take it out of its box :shock:

And just a bit of a teaser, so I can brag a bit for once :mrgreen:

voila... they're back in the box now and the LRP pink E is going on the TRX1 shortly ;)

Cheers folks!

Cheers Dan, great info on the transition to Wet magnets... I was a kid when this happened and this is a great learning :)

for sure! I have an all-silver mid custom shelfer project, and that might very well go into it :mrgreen:
