Default Needle Service

Well I'm not having much luck finding needles I was going to retro fit a couple sets with blue and red led's and offer some exchange needles for $125 as Lexucan had no interest in doing sets for members... So he gave me the go ahead... if anybody is interested I can do them for you it will take about a week through the mail to ship both ways and a night at the workbench here to finish... contact me at esucaris1@yahoo.com

Default Official Endorsement

Hey All
In keeping with the campaign fervor of this U.S. election year, I hereby throw my support behind and happily endorse esucaris1 in his bid to become the official needle-swap guy of our beloved 2nd gen ES300 CL family. I have therefore bestowed upon him, my vast technical know-how pertaining to the modification of those nasty burnt out gauge needles and so, after completing his rigorous BSNM (Bachelor of Science in Needle Modification) education and training at the Lexucan Academy of Gaugology (off-campus program), I am completely confident that he can carry on my work in this highly technological field.

So, step up ppl and place your orders here.

Just a prototype I'm not real happy yet as I had to grind out the tip of the needle because the blue led shining through the orange stripe on the needle makes a sucky yellow color... I'm going to get a set of mini files and try out another scrap needle if i can get one sent to me...
