Re: John Long Phaser 1 Kit Buildup plus MM P2 Restoration It's really great to see back at it again ASA. When you took your break I really hadn't any reason to check in here much. But I can see you're back in a groove again, and welcome back! :)

Yep..that does indeed set a standard by having the wheels properly grooved. Here is the set you made for me a while back which i used for my Delta build.

Steve, that is absolutely beautiful. And you did a really great job sharpening and restoring that buck. Beautiful work as always. Steve (JM)

Re: John Long Phaser 1 Kit Buildup plus MM P2 Restoration You know, I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet. But with all the great things happening on this thread, it seems one part of this great project has slipped through the cracks. You did a really great job cutting the phaser in...

Re: John Long Phaser 1 Kit Buildup plus MM P2 Restoration I swear, seeing a phaser with a hero style twist lock brings a tear to my eye....no! Seriously, it does! :). I just seems like yesterday when I first laid eyes upon the GJ hero in all it's majestic glory. I can clearly remember my...

Re: John Long Phaser 1 Kit Buildup plus MM P2 Restoration Looking at that gasket closely, it did look to be copper. But it's making contact with both prongs which would result in a dead short if the batteries were installed. So it can't be metal.

Re: John Long Phaser 1 Kit Buildup plus MM P2 Restoration I'll go with the prongs as well. The sides have been filed away where they would act more like hooks rather than locking fit. EDIT: never mind, I see the holes now :) My eyes are half closed from taking a nap.

Re: John Long Phaser 1 Kit Buildup plus MM P2 Restoration Oh..I can assure you, it's fun for us all to watch your amazing talents at work. Me, I can never get enough of threads like these.

No matter how many times I see this prop, I can never tire if it's awesome example of creative 1960's engineering. I've often wondered if the TOS phaser was inspired by another prop of it's time, or by a store bought toy? I would have loved to been a fly on the wall while this was being drawn to...

I just won an auction for this watch a few weeks back and paid a bit over 400 for it. I really didn't want to pay that price, but being I'm not seeing them as much as I'd like I thought it a good idea to grab one while I can. I now have both the gold and stainless. And yes, the stainless is...

Gerald, I haven't been to your site in a while. But after looking at these absolutely fantastic photo's, I think I'll be visiting again real soon :thumbsup. And thank you for making these pictures public as well. I'm very curious about the grip and hope you can answer a question for me. Under...

Thank you for the update, and I'm sorry you haven't had your issue resolved as of yet.. Isn't it amazing all these little things you learn (none of them good) about PayPal when you have an issue with a seller? Thanks for that information, and I believe there is a member "Jamie" who also has an...

I just received a letter from Amex today. The dispute against TrekPropguy has been decided in my favor and my hard earned money has been refunded. However, we haven't reached the end of the road yet as there are still quite a few people that are still owed refunds/kits, and this thread will...

Finally!! The dispute is showing up in my resolution center. It took nearly a month, but the transaction is now under investigation and should be resolved shortly. So C.B.gets caught in yet another web of deception. All his posturing, all his ranting, all his claims of being set upon by the...

Thank you for the update. I'll be sure to make my office aware not to accept any packages from Canada as well. Very interesting that the return name on the package wasen't that of C.B. So now we're past the point of of him being able to issue a refund through Paypal and it's totally in the hands...
