Hey mac, just wondering if these heads would be sufficient for a 1300ml 3' column? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

That coil alone would be a good seller I'd think?

Looking good Mac :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I've got everything I need to put these together now, but I want to test one before I release them.... just need to find the time :crying-blue:

I doubt the coil would suit a 3" rigs power requirements tho.

To be honest I've not had enough time to test one mate, I know they'll be fine as it's an exact replica of the ones I used to build.

I'm hoping this Sunday morning to do a test run on some feints in my old HBS boiler :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Have run the same head on a column & now 4" plated still for a while & can't see any benefit in hanging
a product condenser off the side apart from clearance issues.

Ok Mac,
I am really keen to hear how your feints run goes.
I've got my first tpw bubbling in the shed.
Gunna borrow a mates t500 to give it a run through.
As soon as you have pricing sorted, give us a yell.
Really looking for something simple for the first time around.

Yeah it's getting a bit embarrassing with getting these out, I only get one day off a week and always seem to be flat out on my day off too.

I'm trying to get a local fella here to test these out and give a report on them, hopefully not too much longer guys :handgestures-thumbupleft:
