Sold/Expired Feeler on modded McLux PR's

Feeler on modded McLux PR\'s

I have a couple of McLux PRs that I have modified to make more carry friendly.

I was going to do more, but was wondering if anyone would even be interested, especially in light of the fact that the McLux PR "T" has hit the shelves.





All I'd be able to offer is bare aluminum. I'm working on anodizing in colors, but haven't worked it out yet.

The bead blasted bezel ring on the E1e is off of a PM6.

Post and PM if interested.

Oh well, I guess I'll scrap this project. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Re: Feeler on modded McLux PR\'s

Not trying to be a wiseguy here, but aren't you defeating the heatsinking quality of the head by taking the fins off?

Re: Feeler on modded McLux PR\'s

oeo2oo,
Not really. Even trimmed down as it is, it still has more mass than the KL4 head. It builds up heat quick because the heatsink is an integral part of the head, but the full size PR builds up heat quick too.

Although it does build heat quickly, it stabilizes fast as well. I haven't had any problems with these.

As far as that goes, I haven't had any problems pushing the KL4 mods up to an amp and beyond, so I feel pretty confident that heat will not be a problem with these.

I guess the short answer is that, although I may be decreasing it some, I am not defeating it. There is still plenty of surface area to dump the heat.

Re: Feeler on modded McLux PR\'s

I believe there is still enough mass in the head to carry the heat quickly to all over the head, and from there, dissipate. I sure like the bead blasted bezel ring contrasting with the smooth and shiny head.

Nerd,
That bezel ring came off of a PM6. I wanted to see how it looked. I guess I'm gonna have to buy a bead blaster now. At least I already have the air compressor to drive it.

Re: Feeler on modded McLux PR\'s

Chop,
I'm interested in one or two.
What are you asking for the bare alu one?
Please PM me.

Re: Feeler on modded McLux PR\'s

I'd like one if you can bead blast the head to match the bezel. <g>

Re: Feeler on modded McLux PR\'s

OK guys,

There isn't much interest in these things, so I'm not gonna do a run of 'em. I have my mind on something more original anyway.

Those of you that have shown interest, I'll probably build a couple soon. Just to have something to do on my lathe while I wait for my stock to come in.

I went to check out a bead blasting cabinet today. If I can find the room for it in my workshop, I'll get one.

oeo2oo,
the one with the bead blasted bezel has been sold. I don't have anymore of the PM6 bezels. If I produce a bead blasted head, I'll let you know.
