bklm1234 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Here're some pics of my reshaping of MBW 5513 CGs to pointy CGs gen: MBW: I have filed down the fat CGs to the pointy shape with needle files and motorized grinder. They were ready for mirror-polishing: After mirror-polishing: Enjoy. -bk 1
mikellem Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 You are an amazing artist BK! I just love your work... MM
silvio Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Great job, BK. 'Touch' makes a whole lot of difference. BTW, did you happen to trim the inner CG case area / the case where the crown tube sits? Please see my post, I haven't got around to do it and thinking that it requires much manual touch and dexterity: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry488869 Nice work again!
bklm1234 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 @silvio: I trimmed the CGs' inside and outside. But I didn't trim the bottom of the U. -bk

Nanuq Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I'm seriously considering doing this to a gen 1675 GMT to make it a PCG too. Think it can be done?

Justasgood Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Nice work BK....I must say, to have my Franken (see 2nd pic) used as a Gen reference makes me feel I did an o.k. job on mine as well See mine here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...5823&hl=NDT
