I'm up to no good again. I had a king sol lying around that was MAJORLY scratched up on the bottom. (I actually gouged a curly strip of metal out of it by accident too, see later posts) so I bought a Heiland reflector to go on top. Now..clamps....i removed the king sol bracket (none of the screws lined up, it was pretty bad work) then I decided to buy one of those metal "clamp" sections from eBay. Originally these were made in the 80s by that early replica company..can't remember the name. Anyone still have those magazines?
anyways this is how I basically skinned part of the flash. These clamps are cut from tubes and very rough inside. I removed it again and took a grinding wheel to the inside. I also tightened the clamp once it was in place - there's a socket head screw and this lever shaped piece on the other side.there are these raised areas for transistors I'm assuming...they look neat so I decided to play along. I took two generic transistors and hit them with wrinkle paint! The black transistor idea has been in the back of my head for years.
i found a little extender card at school and always wanted to use the plug on something. Now I can! What else....I actually decided to drill into the test button to hang a ring. I didn't like the look of adding anything anywhere else, the end cap is still a viable option.
