NOOOOOO! My baby! My precious! Gone....
Heres' the story. I tried to open the head up to prep it for the new K2 emitter I have coming. The one piece came off fine - the bottom ring that screws onto the body. But the threaded piece inside that screws into the front part is another story. Good grief. Using strap wrenches and heat I could NOT get that part to loosen. I then tried pliers (with rubber straps under them of course). Not only did THAT not work, they slipped positive wire broke, and scratches with destruction of the threads occured. I couldn't believe it. My favorite light. Gone. I liked it even better than my U2. I deserve to be beaten.
Is there a way to get a new L1 head? I would buy a KL1 head and put it on there, but I hear it won't work. Why not? Other than that, I guess I'll just have to see if milkyspit has a stock L1 head lying around. *sigh* Let the flogging begin.
Well I managed to get it open the rest of the way. The only thing now is I forgot how it goes back together. Here are the pics of the destruction:
