Hi guys,
At the moment, I can offer to take your Z52 LOTC tail cap and modify it into a two stage tail cap. I will re use some of the components. I don't think I can promise to be accountable in guaranteeing that you will receive the same tailcap that you sent me. Because of this, I only want to modify like new caps at this point. I want to "cook" these as well as dissasemble them in groups where possible. I can't tag each component with your name and hope to keep track. I confuse too easily! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
The price for a modified LOTC turn around is $40 and that includes domestic priority mail and the PayPal fees. For Global Priority or International Air mail I ask for an additional $1.50.
I don't want to open the flood gates completely until I have had a chance to get a feel for how this works. By the same token, I see no reason to set some arbitrary number of slots. I think I'll let this go open and if need be, place a "pause" post here if things seem to be getting out of hand.
How I would like it to work:
Please post here of your intent to send me a tail cap(s). If you want to discuss resistor values or have questions about that, please post them here and not in a PM or E-mail. In addition to posting here, please send me an E-mail with your CPF name as well as real name and mailing address and let me know what you are sending and how you would like it resistored. From this e-mail I will set you up in my build schedule and have the base module built and ready for a quick turn around when I actually get your switch(s). Please no Pay Pal until you have received word that the switch is headed back to you.
For the time being, I am offering resistor boards with the following total resistance; all rated at 1/2 watt power:
15 ohm - good for boost [BB] and 1x123 with Lux III
22 ohm - good for L4 and other boost [BB] 2x123 with 5W
30 ohm - good for DB and other step down 3x123 and 5W
60 ohm - good for DB and other step down 2x123 and Lux III
As more is learned and shared here, I suspect that other values might well become prefered. The resistor board in these switches can be changed out by the individual and with proper equipment, the resistors themselves can easily be changed.
For those of you who want to do your own modding, Wayne will be offering modules and parts in the shoppe. If you are comfortable in taking your existing tail cap apart, as an option, I can send you a completed 2S module which has been resistored along with a replacement jam nut. You remove all from your LOTC but the rubber boot itself. You install the S2 jam nut and then snap the switch module up in place. If you would like to purchase the completed module with jam nut, the price is $33 including the domestic priority mail and Pay-Pal fees.
