ubiquitous Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Well, the 703 was an improved Triplock as it had the exterior gasket on the tube. But 702 and 703 both have 2 gaskets inside the tube whereas the 700 only has 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 We all learn around here for sure. Most of us look for the older style tube/crown for authenticity of a project, when looking at older models, but if you were to take it to a service center, they will slap in a modern crown and tube unless told otherwise. I cannot wait to find a decent 700 tube and crown for a project. Not better than new, but looks the part and it IS the part. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Proceed with caution, he has a couple of those and one is missing the crown "guts".

I have seen a few of the ones from "india" that are listed as gens, and are worse than rotted and useless. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Roger that, I bought my Brevet 6mm twinlock crown from him, and the innards are rounded so it jumps when I try to wind it at the crown. Live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live and learn. Same here, and the stem part of the crown is so corroded on most of these, that to take them apart makes them self implode. You end up with a pretty crown that cannot be used.

cib0rgman Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 does the 700 tube fits the 702 crown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 You'd have to go back and search but I think someone here took a Marsupliamiwhatever 702 tube and cut down its length to fit a 700 crown. I think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I think 702 into 700 is easier/plausible. 700 into 702, not so much. The main reasoning to trim down a 702 tube(sacrilege anyone?) is perhaps to have the two o-rings in the tube, as opposed to one. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
