freddy333 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Where did you find the dial & crystal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Where did you find the dial & crystal? I'm not sure about the dial, but if I recall, VDBroucke custom-machined the crystal himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 If he did, that is the best aftermarket crystal I have ever seen. And by leaps & bounds. On Wednesday, I saw the gen up close (was not able to actually handle it ) & he even got the gen's slightly opaque crystal dead on. That is quite a feat if he made it himself.

I guess that's the thing, when someone has the skills and tools to actually make a piece themselves, they can make sure the dimensions are 100% as they want them, rather than aftermarket 'close enough is good enough' QC... I bet that was a fantastic experience to be able to see the original that close, I would have loved to have attended something like that, but of course, being the wrong side of the pond tends to be a bit restrictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yeah this is absolutely amazing. I am really impressed. I would love to have something like this in my collection one day. I'm going to go back right now and review the original thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
