I was digging around the shop and found a bag full of these.
What is it? Classic on/off?
EDIT: I just noticed the one laying down up front looks defferent than some of them too.

one looks like a (the one standing up) a classic valve, the other (laying down) looks like a 68 Automag. But I'm pretty sure I'm wrong so don't quote me.

I bought a 68Automag new around 1995 that had an on/off like the one laying down. I sent it in a couple of years later for a free upgrade (they used to have lifetime upgrades back then) and it came back with the stand up on/off.

i have both kinds in the pics. The one with the holes are for the classic and the ones with the X slots are for the old 68mags. The holes i believe are an upgrade for the 68mag on/off. Heck i still have a power tube spring LOL

They're all standard am/mm on/offs, just different vintages.

So...what can we do with them? There are a bunch laying around in general. I have at least two on hand.

My daughter doesn't do the industrial jewelry thing. Maybe Luke or someone else could make us something useful.

Luke could weld them into a statue of TK! Or maybe some lions... :rofl:

Why do you guys have so many? I have two, one for each valve I own. I didn't think I needed more than that... :confused:

Some people donate them to you when you help them with their new on/off because they don't do the pack-rat thing.

I would like to know how you get a baggy full though :rolleyes:

That's it! First we establish a serial numbering system for all of the extra on/offs, get them laser etched, then we can start a collectable market on ebay!

We can throw in some level 7 bolts too.

The ones with the round holes are like an RT on/off top and they breathe better than the ones with the crossed grooves on them. They both have straight pins, so the trigger pull is the same.
