projectologist Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 It's a really nice build. It was put together a couple of years ago by a member in Europe. It's been FS a couple of times here at RWG. Finally made it to the States. I picked it up from a local member. I took it apart to flatten and polish the CP. Next was a little refinishing of the cg and pin. The dial is beautiful... OEM from vanni. Details and more about the case set in another post. Some informal pics after I put it back together...
atomic_doug Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 Beautiful piece. Is it just me or does the pre-A dial have a little more texture than the modern-day white dial PAMs? Which is to say, the white part appears to have a glossy eggshell texture as opposed to the enameled finish of the modern ones? If ever there was a dial I wish the factories could get right...

Which is to say, the white part appears to have a glossy eggshell texture as opposed to the enameled finish of the modern ones? If ever there was a dial I wish the factories could get right... It's definitely an enameled finish, and the weird thing is the thick edge is glass smooth (which leads me to thick it was a case of a slightly thicker application that got baked on). Since it's from the Pre-A era, 1997, it could be from a different vendor than is being used now. The gen Slytech dial I got to play with had the same texture. Combine that with the extreme side lighting I used to emphasize the concentric circles of the sub secs dial, and you get an exaggerated view of that texture. The dial surface looks glass-smooth to the naked eye. Edited August 14, 2013 by projectologist
ubiquitous Posted August 15, 2013 Report Posted August 15, 2013 Gorgeous! I think the white dials are extremely underrated.... Here's one I'm babysitting...
projectologist Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Posted August 16, 2013 Gorgeous! I think the white dials are extremely underrated.... Here's one I'm babysitting... Love your countertop pics!!! And I really love those patina'd hands On another note... Noticed that rep xtals only get 3 bands in their reflection. OEM spec typically gets 4-5. The search is on. Hey vanni...
tech Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Superb...had a gen 113, then a franken gen dial113, and then sold 'em...really, REALLY miss having a white dial PAM in the box. Enjoy!
projectologist Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Posted August 17, 2013 Pre-V vs Pre-A Besides cg difference, notice lug shape...
flex Posted August 19, 2013 Report Posted August 19, 2013 ..i have a gen xtal installed on a J-F case (gen dial)
