fieldmarshall Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Posted January 30, 2017 Nothing that could be fixed? Karl ,, one of my machinist accidentally put the vintage one in a fixture made for the solid.... It crushed it nicely It gave me the op to cut it in half . .. I was not willing to do it unless i had too... Im working on the focal lengths of my lens now. They may not work but the cut away is helping with that... i hope Quote
Twnbrother Posted January 30, 2017 Report Posted January 30, 2017 The M19 is coming along quite nicely. Great work 1 Quote

Bulldog44[TK] Posted January 30, 2017 Report Posted January 30, 2017 Holy cow! Great to see you can bore through and make these like the original. Best I have ever seen to reproduce these. You have certainly taken this project to the limits. 2 Quote

fieldmarshall Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Posted February 5, 2017 Took the bulb lens off the damaged m19 ,,, ill get some measurements and repro that nicely 1 Quote
Bulldog44[TK] Posted February 5, 2017 Report Posted February 5, 2017 Took the bulb lens off the damaged m19 ,,, ill get some measurements and repro that nicely The bulb has been the hardest part for me to cast because of using clear resin. Without proper pressure casting it holds all the bubbles. How will you replicate the bulb? I am looking into having it done professionally but the cost is super high here. Really cool to see you got the wire clip off too. First time to see that removed. 1 Quote
fieldmarshall Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Posted February 5, 2017 Well after completely obliterating that m19 it just about fell out LOL im going to have in injection molded....
