I finally got mine on Sat.! :yh: I have been testing and working on a detailed review, also had my hands full with trying to diagnose problems with the new DX modules, as well as things getting very busy with expanding my business.
Noticed something
very strange about this unit, wanted to get your feedback on. Looking down inside the aperture cap at high magnification, the inside of the cap where it meets the module is
THREADED, and the top of the module appears identical to the new DX greenie modules that they are now selling?!
This unit is not performing the same as the other True 5's reported here
, and has some interesting quirks. I'm wondering if I got a new model based on the new DX module, so I'm anxious to crack it open and see exactly what's going on.
Hard to tell while still inside the unit, but as it likely has the threaded end on the module to match the threads on the cap, it does
NOT appear to be either of the two modules in john_lawson's pics earlier in this thread, but more likely may look something like this -
Attempting to disassemble it per John's method, but it is not budging yet, and I am concerned that with those threads (rather than the smooth "slip-fit" design of the older modules in his pics), I may just be breaking it, and that it may require a different disassembly approach?
john_lawson, Bob_Boyce, or anybody else - have you encountered any True 5's that have threads on the inside of the aperture cap and/or end of the module, and if so, what method did you have to use to disassemble it without breaking it?
Thanks!
