    Made my delrin pickup tubes last week, and just cleaned some vinyl with this badass unit. let me just say having a RCM is the way to go, my vinyl sounds fantastic... This project was worth all the work and then some. well I am off to chill to some SADE. ;)

    For those of you that disapproved of this project, well:D

    Peace,

    Larry.

    I am not sure what Brad did when he painted it. I do know you can't take a picture of it with the flakes in it, the pics don't do it any justice...

    I Finally Finished it.. Not that I havent been using it but I finished the cover. I really wanted to use smoked lexan but it would not come out right off the press break, so I opted for stainless steel.

    LOL! You're kidding. Let me explain oh dull lightbulb. No wiping necessary, you just move your butt back and forth and the tall cotton takes care of the rest, and the little thorn at the base of the cotton wad wil take care of any itches you may have!:eek::D;)

    LMAO! Didn't say I don't understand the theory, Gus. I said, I never heard that one before. I admit though, never occurred to me about the little thorn on the base part of it. You are the Shart Master. :p:D;)
