Took me half a day to clean all the crap out of it. Dude said he hadn't played with it in 3 years. Looks like he didn't even clean it after that last game. I found old-school All-Star shell up by the front pneus and under the pump-arm. There was pink paint all in the feedneck and breech as well. Anyway, she's cleaned up as good as it's going to get until I start sinking good money into AKA components. The reason the front MAC valves look so sloppy is that dude used an ANS Jackhammer-II and the inward bevel of the design won't let the weaver mount sit on it properly.
Oh... it cycles.... it cycles faaaaast.....  
Eye needs replaced as well. It works, but the plastic that houses the eye's board and wiring harness is disintegrating rapidly. So, in a matter of two weeks, I'll be plunking $80 into it just for a new SCM-III and a new eye unless someone on mcb or nation can be convinced to let an AKA LPR go cheap. Now for the money shots:

She's a Prom Queen compared to the Rainmakers you love so much.

Which part? The cheap shot at the Rainmakers? Or the statement of you getting sloppy seconds? 
Gotta admit, it was good. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Yeah, I laughed. Still cold though. And I'll have you know, Rainmakers, are an art form! Finicky mechanical jumbles qualify as art right? ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Well, seeing as how the TF-5 is definitely finicky, electro-mech, and jumbl-ey goodness, then yes. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

This one is actually easier PCF, self-timing.

What a glorious mess. Looks a lot better now that it's clean. I'm excited to see a video of it.

video will be up in a week or two. There are a few issues to work out before I feel comfortable letting it rip. As I said, the eye is disintegrating rapidly and I don't want some accidental blow-back to make the eye board body just fall apart (yes, it's that fragile right now). ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

DzXs, you need a "chicken-head" smiley for that one.
