I just have to say, the level of knowledge and build expertise around CPF is unbelievable. This piece looks great, I may have to buy my first A2.

I'm interested in 2, possibly more depending on price.

Any shot at getting plain fixed LED rings? I am too dumb for the dumb rings. Maybe the idiot cousin ring?

Do you know whether the LED driver is compatible with rechargeable 123s (if I can find some that fit)?

Yes it will work with rechargeables a-ok. See paragraph 4 of first post.

I'd be interested in one. Instead of brass you might want to consider phosphor bronze. The model railroad people use it for wipers that transfer power from the track to lights in a car or locomotive motors.
Interesting Randy, I will look into it. Thanks!

If you don't mind me etch the boards manually, then yes why not. It will look like the board in the picture with less parts. It will be similar to the SF original A2 ring. Another choic is to modified the Onion Ring boards to run without the voltage regulator. I am guessing 1/2 the price of Onion Ring.

Would we have the option of a LED that's close in tint to the white THC3? I have that in my other A2 and like the tint.

I'd be in for at least one as well. It's not quite an Aviatrix, but these are looking really good!
