@hispls; You were right about the gap!
Even got it today and tore it apart. Not only were the inner/outer diameters weird, but the coils were way too short
I paid $440 for half-assed recones from Tantric. Anything I could do about it?
Skip all the "I told you so's"
If there's a way I can get money back, I'm all ears. I'm about to make a new thread on CACO and hopefully post specs[/QUOTE]
Well, if the guy was in any position to make good he'd have just refunded you cash or given you the right parts to begin with It's doubtful anything beyond the dustcap is salvageable. If he uses CA glue you might be able to soak the cut up triple joint in acetone to melt the glue and save the coil. That's assuming you had another use for that coil and who knows how good it is whether it's worth saving or not??
Can you get gap measurements? I might could have access to some parts extra. If Tantric will make good by selling you raw parts, you could try to grab some 10X3" spiders, some spiders, or tinsel lead wire, or something else that you can use or sell. OR find someone who can buy or trade for a Tantric recone and have him send you something like that?
Really if it were anything else besides the Z motor I'd suggest gathering parts and having one of us build them (or build yourself piece by piece). IF I could find a coil to fit, you'd be around 150 a pop (after shipping) to just acquire non DD parts.
For the record, what does DD charge for their parts for those?
