30. Mike Watson's old SFL... EM01608

[mostpeople]

Was feeling nostalgic so I decided to visit AO today. Surprised to see this thread!

Anyway, here's some added details about this marker:


***Sometime in early February 2004, I sold this marker to AO username "Jonesie." (link). Through my research (reading his posts here on AO and my use of Google), I found out he is this player on APPA. Since he apparently no longer visits AO, I have no idea what he has done with the marker since then.

When I purchased this marker from Mike Cintek (username Johnny Bravo) sometime in November 2002, it had Shocktech Emag valve EM01569. Yes "Shocktech" was laser engraved into the valve. It also came with the standard Emag board which read "Shocktech X.X" when booted up. It came with a matching 1-piece glued Dye Boomstick which was also pewter. It also only had the single ball detent and did NOT have Level X installed.

A month after receiving the marker, I sent it to AGD to have the ACE installed (first consumer Emag/Xmag/SFL to receive the ACE upgrade) and have Level X installed.

A few weeks after receiving the marker back from AGD, some newbie at the local field accidentally knocked my SFL off the table without the barrel attached. It landed on concrete and barrel area became slightly warped which did not allow a barrel to be screwed in. I then sent the marker for body repair to Doc's Machine to see what he could do. The threads were undamaged so all Doc had to do was shaved off a millimeter of material in front of the threads to allow enough clearance for a barrel to be inserted again. This is obviously a way for this specific SFL to be identified even if the board and valve have been replaced. While the marker was with Doc, I also had him mill out the left side of the breach so I could install dual ball detents.

When the marker came back from Doc, all was well for about 8 months until the infamous "lake incident." Long story short, I was out on the dock with the SFL, got careless, and dropped it into the lake (murky water, maybe twenty feet down). Yes, I know all of you would have searched until it was found, but it was getting dark out and my lake had alligators in it. Before I found the SFL again, a total of around 50hrs had passed with it submerged (there's a thread somewhere on AO about it). Attesting to the durability of an Automag, the only irreparable damage was to the battery pack. The dried out board, solenoid, and valve were all completely fine.

Later that week, I shipped the marker to AGD for a checkup and to have my board flashed to the new software which contained shot buffering. When I received the marker back, the board no longer displayed "Shocktech X.X" it instead displayed "AGD X.X."

Shortly after, I became highly involved in the national tournament scene. I picked up a pewter 2003 Shocktech Intimidator and took the SFL's barrel and used it on the Intimidator since it matched perfectly.

In Febrary 2004, the marker was sold to AO member "Jonesie." It was sold with the original "Shocktech" valve, new shot buffering board, and a generic boomstick (NOT the matching barrel). I then traded the barrel away with the Shocktech Intimidator and have no way of locating it.

I'd be interested in reacquiring my SFL Emag if anyone knows where it is today.

EDIT: I have some high-res pics of my old SFL which I will post if I find them.

I am pretty sure I just purchased it...

I am pretty sure I just purchased it...

Does the barrel area look like it has been shaved down? If so, please post some pictures as I would love to see how she is doing 7 years later.

I think you bought Loadsm5's
I could be wrong.

I'm wanting to buy one at the moment. Let me know if any of you guys are thinking of selling. Thanks!

[Hysperion]

If anyone has my old polished blue SFL -- which I have no clue what's happened to over the last bazillion years -- I'd love to buy it back for the full fair market value.
