I have payment from Daguin, Jimmymcjimthejim and ArRaY. Arrangements have been made with Kenom and GooeyGus.

Waiting for responses from brtaman, el-taco and rkcstr. Guys, don't just get the message then ignore it. Either reply saying your going to pay or that you've decided not to take this deal. Otherwise I will remove your interest from this deal and put your Sonars/heatsinks back up for sale

I think at least one of them was worried about funds before, so if anyone would like to put in interest now you can get a set if one of them don't want one

These have been shipped, Yours too Murudai . If any more come through in the next few hours, they will go out today also, otherwise, I am going to "drop off of the face of the earth" until Monday, (24-hour paintball tournament ;D;D).

How many are left? Whats the total price each?

I cant believe the 18650 is too fat to fit in the Sonar II. Are they not just as fat as CR123's?


Edit* (Would you sell me just the heat sink from the one, or two you have left?) I have 10 of the new 155mm Sonar II's. And I cant use the old shorter ones.

Dark_Horse has made heatsinks for the ones I'm selling, but in the future he'll be able to make heatsinks just to sell on their own

There are 3 that people put in interest but haven't responded too (except for el-taco, who responded here ). So that's 3 available for purchase, unless they want to come in and claim them. $79 USD each, includes shipping, Sonar case, heatsink, and a switch installed in the heatsink. If you buy more than 1 at a time, you can get a discount


And you bought 10 new Sonar II cases? Why can't you use the older shorter ones? Also, according to Dark_Horse there is a slight difference between Sonar I and Sonar II cases. So there may be a slight difference between Sonar II and the new longer Sonar II cases as well. If you want heatsinks for them I suggest you talk to Dark_Horse about it, you may need to send up one of your cases to get it fitted.

Yeah, I did talk with him. He's just kinda busy. And isn't looking forward to making a bunch more. But I am at the top of his list.

And I have to have the longer sonar cases because of the battery type I'm using.

Out of curiosity... How much for all 3?

Well, I can't speak for Dark_Horses part of the deal, but if I could sell those 3 in bulk with immediate payment that would suit me a lot for some other deals I'm doing at the moment.

I'm willing to give even up to a $50 USD saving, maybe. So buy 2, get 1 free almost So that's from $237 USD to $187 USD for 3. I'm not sure how much Dark_Horse would be willing to chop off his price, but lets hypothetically say $20, so 3 might go for $167 shipped.

Note that that is hypothetical, and probably a best case scenario for the buyer. Like I said I can't speak for Dark_Horse and how much he would be willing to drop his part of the deal for a bulk order.

Im back, (and bruised everywhere, it was great! ;D)
As some of you already know, I do usually give a discount for buying in qauntities, unfortunatly I cannot give a discount on these, they were a labor of love that were very labor intensive, I will be looking to design something that will be less expensive to build in the future, but for now I am afraid the price stands for the Sonar heat-sinks.

And you bought 10 new Sonar II cases? Why can't you use the older shorter ones? Also, according to Dark_Horse there is a slight difference between Sonar I and Sonar II cases.

The differences is really more that they corrected a slight design-flaw in the Sonar 1s, the threads were the same size as the whole bore of the inside. This meant that anything you pressed into the tube, would also be pressing through and possibly damaging the threads. In the Sonar 2s, the made the threads a little larger and only provided a short section that they "bored", the rest of the tube is actually smaller, which is why my RCR123's are a little snug, in the Sonar-2 barrel. Non of this affects the laser really, just how manufacturable it is. They made this change to make it easier to produce the part and eliminate hand-fitting, which is almost required with the Sonar 1's.
All of that being said, Murudai is correct, I would need you to send me a barrel to make sure everything would work correctly.
I have an idea which may eliminate the need for such high-tolerances and press-fits, but I will need to develop it. I will not be selling any Sonar heat-sinks for at least a couple of weeks, I need a rest. Also, I am not interested in competing with Murudais efforts to sell his barrels quickly, if you want a working Sonar laser, this is the only place to get the proper materials for now.

**To everyone who has a kit coming, I have matched each heat-sink to your barrel to insure optimal-fit, I have also included in the envelope that contains you "button", a small round piece of adhesive. I punched these out of some pieces of my daughters "press-on-nails" kit, I think it should work good, but I have not tried it myself yet.
Rckstar, your kit has been sent this morning.
Thanks everybody,
DH

I got mine today
Looks good, I shall build my $2000 dollar laser tomorrow
All I'm waiting for are the batteries from DealExtreme...

looks like I'll be getting something fun in a few days

still gotta buy some more batteries, though... which DealExtreme will take forever :-/

About a page back, Dr Lava posted a link for some cr123 "dummy-batteries for $5, they looked pretty nice. you could probably get one of these and use a regular cr123 until your battery from DX arrives.

[highlight]BTW[/highlight] I forgot to mention that I included a small uranium-glass marble with each shipment, be careful of reflections when using this marble, but it will fluoresce brightly around the 405nM laser-light. I have included a picture for referance of a "double-pack" of these marbles that will soon be offered.

so you mean to tell me that I get a bonus set of marbles when I get my barrel?? SWEET!!

Nah, you only get one (Well, I only got one.. But I only need one )

Sooner you're able to pay, sooner these can be shipped out


Oh, and guys, remember there is still 1 set up for grabs (maybe 2). I'm sure those who have got one already can come and be testament to the quality you are receiving Plus, for those of you who do have them, make sure to post pics once you've done building

Yes everyone does get a bonus "uranium-marble", but I am afraid only one. I will be offering the sets you see in the pictures in the very near future. I hope you guys enjoy

Dave,
Not sure how that could have happened, it should have been in the little evelope with your heat-sink. If anyone else does not get one please let me know.
DH
BTW, they do not really smell... :

Dark Horse -- DO NOT send me one! I have plenty of glowing things around here. I just did a quick "survey" of my office. There are at least 50 fluorescent "targets" in my office here. It is NOT worth the postage for me to have one more glowing thing.

Peace,
dave
