No need to bring one, I have plenty for your enjoyment. How about a .44 Redhawk? Like you, I miss my old MBWs too. But my aim is improving.

I'll take the one next to the right. You know the address.

She looks bone stock to me, but the insert has been slightly "flattened" so it sits lower against the crystal, leaving a slight vertical lip. Verrrrrrrrry nice.

Check this out, from the world championship races a couple months ago. These guys are busting over the top of a downhill with a 20% grade and the driver's eyes tell it all... "the brake isn't working so it's do or die"

Ah, but the pooches won't run when it's windy. At least not THIS windy.

It's a little wintery today here in the arctic wilderness, and predicted to get truly ugly this afternoon. It's already beginning.

I celebrate milestone birthdays on mountain tops. Then you really are "over the hill".

All Hail the Dome!

Thanks, but not to me... thanks to my best friend Larry. He bought it new, and took it to the bottom of every sea in the world. He helped build worked and lived at SeaLab with it, and it's been below 2,000' many times in chambers ... and once in a sub off the California coast. It's been to the bottom of the arctic ocean, beneath the ice. It's got stories to make your blood boil, and now it lives a life of retired ease. Rest in peace, Larry. edit: I just checked my dates. Larry was there, but didn't build the thing. Sorry!

Never made any... how about cannabilizing a 7206 from Yuki to get some springs? I've got one here I'll send you if you want to pursue that.

You bet. Here's one from 1971, all original, with a silver date wheel. It's not the "brushed" background, but more of a matte look.

After changing the crystal and checking the seals, I had to take my old buddy out for a ride in the snow.

Roger that, All Hail the Dome!

"Bear resistant"?? Now why would you say something like that? And what's this about keeping gens safe inside the house? They're made to be used.

"One" of your kidneys?

The previous crystal was a tropic-39 service replacement, so it was a little bit flatter than the Superdome. I'm keeping that one, as it's got a lot of sentimental meaning to me. Each gouge and scrape bears a story. I do have one more NOS tropic 39 Superdome I can sell now. I went through the pile and put the best one on, I'm keeping one for just-in-case, so I can sell one now. But the little beastie is expensive.

Okay, some of you spotted it... she sports a gen tropic-39 Superdome crystal now. All hail the Dome! In case some are sitting on the fence doing this, my advice is to jump in. The reflections and sparkle and brilliance are just amazing.

What? Nobody commented yet on the date changing?

Who can tell me what changed? Before After

Sure, use a very fine saw blade made for metal, and go slow.

All hail the Superdome! Now she's 100% back to factory original.

All done, notice anything different?
