SPY 007 Sales thread #1 is now CLOSED

[Data]

Oh, and be careful with the battery cap. It popped open on me once into my lap (nearly had a heart attack). And when I put the cap back on, it wouldn't power up at all. I tried to take the cap off, but it wouldn't "spring" off. Had to pull on it. Then I discovered why it wouldn't turn on, the battery spring had fallen off and was on the floor. Popped it back in, and everything is right as rain.

But yeah, I won't be changing batteries while walking around on the streets.

Dave, I love your "Packaging" for the SPY 007. THE most functional packaging I've seen. Our packages could've been dropped in the ocean and run over with a truck, no problem.

Perhaps you can have a custom foam insert cut for these Pelican 1010 cases? Perhaps with some holes cut for spare CR123 batteries as well? 2-4 might just fit.

Anyways, I'm feel like I have OCD, constantly flicking it on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on........

Hold your finger over the battery cap when you push the release or, as you saw, it will go flying.

The spring is not held into the cap as tight as I would like but it will not pop off unless you pull it off. I recommend taking it off one time so you can see how to put it pack. The tip I give people is to put it into the bottom end first (end closer to the lanyard hole) by pushing and twisting CCW. Twisting CCW makes the diameter of the spring smaller. Then hold that same end in place while you put the other end in.

Don't hold your breath on custom foam, it costs too much. I suggest you grab some foam and a knife and make your own.

As for clicking the switch . . . I can't stop either.

BTW, love the nice pics everybody has posted.


Cheers
Dave

Inquiry mind wants to know too. Since I missed the first batch, I changed the way I check my mail and forum. Before I checked my daughter and her mom's email first, then the custom B/S/T. But now, this cool fall is my first priority. :laughing::laughing::twothumbs

Can you blame me? :naughty:

Ooooo. Sweet. Pics of the new machine in action, please. I loved watching your videos and pics of your machining process. Your youtube videos were instrumental in my decision to buy a SPY 007.

It went well at Keith's today. The new drill did good.

Keith has some good ideas for improving the process. So we will be trying some changes to the code in the days to come. Hopefully that does not mean a scratch and dent sale is coming up! :green:

Heheh, I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing for a scratch and dent sale. I think I want another SPY 007, LOL. Can't quite justify my budget for two.

Or can I. Heheh.




No, not really.



Maybe.

I received my first Spy light of any kind, that being the 007. This light is amazing ! The machining is superb. Watching all of those youtube videos, makes me appreciate this light even more. The design of this light is unlike any other light I have owned. I was surprised to learn how small this two cell light actually is. It has such a nice feel in the hand. The "buttery smooth" turning of the knob is crazy addictive. Click...click...click :thumbsup: Six levels are very nicely spaced and I haven't even begun to mess with easter eggs. :thinking:

Data - Congratulations on this incredible light and a big THANK YOU for bringing it to us at CPF. Without people like yourself, CPF wouldn't be close to what it is.

***Edit - The pelican case was a great idea. I was looking to purchase one for my Spy and I'm glad I waited. Nice touch.

Great to hear things are going well! But Ti Spy Fever is running wild in B/S/T so I hope you can offer folks the only known cure soon! :tinfoil: Man, I can`t wait to hold one in my sweaty hand. :sweat: I doubt it will completely cure my fever so I believe I will have to hang on to mine.

I'll line up right behind you for the scratch and dent sale. I'm after my first 007 and I don't care if it's scratched, dented, mismatched or whatever. Sign me up for any mishaps you guys might have working the bugs out!

Guys

I have just picked-up my SPY 007 #0202 at the PO this morning before going to work.

I actually had to pretend going to the washroom to unpack my Spy from the case, pop two fresh batts in it and play with it a little like a kid at Xmas time So my first contact with my Spy was sitting on these toilets, door closed and a big big stupid (almost maniac) smile on my face. If that's not flashaholism you tell me about it

My first impression is : OUTSTANDING

I'm at work so... more thoughts and pics coming later on... :nana:

Hey, I can't stop clicking the button, can anyone give me a tip so that I can start working?

 

[jch79]

Alex,
Here's a little tip to stop thinking about your SPY 007, and to start working again - put it back in its box, and send it to me. :devil: It sounds like you don't even like the light. :nana:
:wave: john

Kenster, now I check this forum 3 times a day.
Still not sure if I'll make it.
Wanna make a deal?
If I see it first I will say, " I'll take two"
And you will do the same if you see it first.
But once we got it covered, we will release one to other. :twothumbs

Just the thought.....LOL

[AndyTiedye]

Any idea when the next wave will be? :candle:

 

[Data]

Keith's mill is running and Mike's is going under power tonight!

 

[tanasit]

Data,

How many 007 will be available on the second run since the first run sold out in just over a minute? :thinking:

I am afraid that some of us who are waiting may very well miss the small window of the opportunity for the second time. :mecry:

Thanks,

Tanasit
