    While we’re on the topic of 5513’s, does anyone know the thickness of the mid-case, sans the caseback and bezel ‘lip’ ? Did the case thickness stay constant throughout the model from the 60’s to the early 80’s?

    Cool project. Did you already get your Ruby case? I’d be interested to see the crown positioning. I got Ruby’s PCG a few months back and was frustrated to see the crown position as low. I can still salvage it with some filing, but was expecting better at that price point.

    Very sad to hear this. RIP Rolf. Your creations brought me joy. Absolute end of an era.

    I use an ultra fine grade 3M sanding sponge to get the matt faded finish. Start lightly and keep going until you get the desired effect. I’m useless with measuring the right amount of bleach to use, so I always go with the sponge. Just picked up my two inserts today. They are sweet! Thanks again K.

    I have a contact for Tonney’s case supplier (pm me if you’re interested). I didn’t order anything, but the guy was responsive. A few folks here have dealt with him, so better wait for them to chime in with any recent experiences (if any).

    1655 was never on my radar, but your journey thread is truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on a fantastic build.

    Nice. Is the engraving between the lugs still visible after the coat is applied?

    I know a couple of members who are holding on to their Rollie 082 dials in their parts boxes. I’ve asked, and they’re not selling. DSN’s last version was also pretty good, but unfortunately sold out.

    That’s a real bromance! I have a couple of the DSN/Ross 618’s incoming as well. Your builds are added inspiration. And the photos... top notch as always. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi M, I meant my dial needs a proper case, I don’t want to cut the dial feet and go the 28xx route. That’s why I’m following altesporche’s build.

    Awesome collection and photos Kilowattore! We need to post more Pre-Vs and Pre-As and get Rollie and FGD out to play.
  14. mir36
    Following your build journey. I have a Tonney 5517 dial that needs a home and I am through with cutting off dial feet.

    Thanks for the tip on the case. Yes, Rollie's/FGD dials are addictive

    Congratulations on your build! Great to see the passion for Rollie PreA’s is alive and well. What’s the buzz around PreA FX cases? Are they similar to the Hfact cases which were the previous standard for OP6502’s?

    Excellent work there and great photos. Congratulations to the owner. +1 for build specs.

    Agree. Justin’s cases are amazing. Hoping to complete more 1016 projects in 2018! Agree. Justin’s cases are amazing. Hoping to complete more 1016 projects in 2018!

    5513-less at the moment, but may my 5517 play?
  21. mir36
    @higho thanks for sharing the knowledge as always. The tip about the "rear profile" is especially helpful, as I plan to treat myself to a gen vintage sub soon.
  22. mir36
    I'm just getting caught up with all your build threads. Amazing.
  23. mir36
    Hallelujah. After salivating over your recent Daytona builds, I was going to send you a 'how to?' mail myself. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Simply AWESOME!!!
  24. mir36
    Thank you sir, for again showing what can be achieved with creativity and persistence!

    So true. You've let the cat out of the bag.
