Nice! If you have a spare piece of copper tube, knock up a new take off for the T500. Would be better than the plastic stuff. :handgestures-thumbupleft: nice clean up rummy.

Mate I've just had another look at your picks and while admiring your work i noticed something, it could be nothing and i hope it is, but your inlet for your parrot is half way up the main tube. I wonder if this might give you a bit of a fulse reading as the spirit in the bottom of the parrot may get stuck there and the new lower abv spirit just keeps sitting on top.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic :-B , i hope I'm wrong cause I'd hate to see your good work not work quite right. Someone with more experience will hopefully let us know. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

My parrot mk2. It wasn't that hard to remove the pipe from the fittings and swap the elbow with a tee and cap the tee off where it mounts to the tube.

I tested the sand blaster on some scrap copper and didn't like the finish. To dull and pitted to sand so i decidedonly to do the inner tubes to clean out gunk.

A quick sand down and citric bath and she looks like I never messed up :-D

Thanks to meth and wood :handgestures-thumbupleft:
