Haha, I think the charm of DV6 is exactly how disgusting it is with all the black screws,rust and scratches ... and ridiculos greeblie choices like the double ball catch.gosh that weathering job looks disgusting great job
It's one of my favourite graflex builds too!now you guys made me want to do it! I love the version you have below the DV6 v312 !
Guys we have another problem
Mechanically, we now know the bottom is strong enough to be hung from a belt by the Kobold. (recent museum displays) and we know generally how heavy it is, if not heavier. I have a core in a graflex shell this size and its heavy. It's also been reported to be heavy by people whove handled it.
So... even if the kobold is pop riveted to the patch plate and the graflex plate..... it's glued in. The whole end system is just glued into the edge of the can. Are we saying that's enough? Like.... I've been looking for fasteners, thinking a wood plug or something metal was put in the bottom, but those pop rivets don't look like cut up fasteners.
I do remember a report that Bob wanted more counterweight when this prop was developed. Maybe there is a slug in the bottom. Fact remains... you cant pop rivet into solid metal, and the rivets look like the original ones saved and trimmed. SO what fasteners are holding this together down there?!
