Sold/Expired FS: B&W Blocky Boy

[PhotonFanatic]

This came about due to a defect in the black anodizing--a little masking compound wasn't cleaned up before the anodizing, so there was a flaw in the surface near where the bodies screw together. I considered stripping it down to bare AL and polishing it, but then I got lazy and decided to machine off the defect, plus the end segments for a little color balance. :devil:

This baby, while very bright, will get quite warm if used for any extended time; best for short duration uses. Like blinding your colleagues.

HAIII Black Anodized and machined bare 6061AL
GD1000 driver with a Seoul USW0H P4 emitter
2mm thick mineral glass lens, beveled and polished
O-ring sealed
Stippled Khatod reflector
Use either primary or rechargeable CR123s
Primary battery included
Split ring for lanyard, allows tail standing use

The daylight was a little too much, so the details are blocked out, but the finish is as machined, sort of a matte appearance. Could be polished to really make them shine though.

Fred Sent a quick PM with couple of questions if you have the time.

Thanks,

Sorry, you won't be allowed to buy it--you've already spent too much today, plus you already have a Blocky Boy. :nana::shakehead:whoopin:

 

[olrac]

Could I have the bands polished per PM

Thanks,
Carl

 

[PhotonFanatic]

Sure, Carl--I'll be glad to polish the bare AL segments. Thanks for buying it.

I may regret selling it after all, although I have some reworked black ano bodies coming back from the anodizer one of these days and I may be tempted to do the same to one of them.
