wow, great news. It looks like I will be finishing up my 9" project this summer after all Thumbs Up

If anyone wants to re-bellow their tubes but feels like they're in over their heads I would be willing to help out as long as you buy them from Athan.

Shipped out Dragan's and Ben's today, thanks for ordering another 3 bellows Dragan!!! I sent out request for shipping to the other two who prepaid.

So when ever the rest of you who entered the poll are ready to get these do it it now as I plan to have Kal add it to the for sale section of the Main Site, there will be a slight increase in cost once up on that site and I will no longer sell via the forum, this way Curts site can make some money as well.

I'll probably get the info to kal in a couple weeks and then once that is up, sales from here will end and you can use the "Buy" button on the main site.

Interesting. How many ounces do you need for one gun? (or, how many 16 oz. bottles of that stuff should one buy if they are replacing all bellows?)

Nashou, I just received the bellow. Superfast shipping Neat little box. That fast thing was amazing, I never ever get things the next day down here on the Eastern shore, Way to go. Thumbs Up

Woo Hoo

The Red C-element is in the housing. I just have to wait for today's mail for the Glycol. This piece of engineering was, great, fantastic. It fit like a glove.

I don't know how this could have been done without a new bellow, Christ I just tore that old one out. I tried to be ginger with it and f*ck that, Rip It out.

A big WAY TO GO NASHOU Thumbs Up

Forgot to post, I got mine on Monday! They look awesome Very Happy

My theater won't be ready for awhile yet but now I can start replacing all of the bellows on the minty P19LCP's I have, and install a red C-element I bought!

Thanks for making this possible for the Marquee folks out there !

After reading Wayne B's prism thread I rechecked the red tube. It was low on Glycol. I bent down to look in the lense and did the Whack A Mole bit and sure enough there was a bubble at the top.

So it appears that 20 oz is not enough more like 24 oz.

It's always good to double check. Thumbs Up
