SFL Pictures and History Thread

[Z-man]

Bringing this back up for you all to remember. I made some small updates to the page layout of each SFL (old images section). Again I am still looking for these things and have 10 listed so far. I would thank you for any corrections, updates and leads you have on the current whereabouts of these SFLs.

I remembered a guy in Ontario, Canada that had one for sale right after I bought mine. His name is Dragoon. It was pewter I think. He probably ended up selling it, but to where I don't know. Hope this helps.

OK this has lurked for a bit now. I have been tweaking the gallery page and making an effort to make it look all pretty and what not. I have the itch to get my content current and so I have brought this thread back up and on top of that I am going to PM everyone who's SFL I have already and make a big stink about giving me current images (BIG well arranged shots at that) and to get me a write-up on the marker. Heck if you see one that WAS yours and have something to write about it, please do.

Only a few of the SFL's listed have a fairly complete history and set of images to go with it. Maybe it will remain like that but I ain't done trying yet! Again here is the main gallery page:

I am sure you can all find the SFL's from there. Now to the PM's!

zman il do my write up of edwierds SFL from when i owned it...


I origionally aquired this sfl after alot of hard searching. It was an odd way that i came into contact with it, but alas, i digest. This sfl had been up for grabs on the boards, the owner, wanted an angel for it, where as i was offering cash. He wanted the angel and that was that. I had already been on the xmag list, with AGD rob, who recieved the first few xmags. Dansim had contacted me, knowing i was getting an xmag, and he was interested. throughout talking with dansim, i had let him know that i was interested in the sfl even more, as i liked the milling etc more than the xmag. dansim contacted the seller to see if he would be interested in his newly aquired excalibur. He wasnt, but an owner of an adrenaline angel was. So, it was a 3 way trade. dansim got the xmag that i was waiting on, one of the first few production xmags, the owner of the sfl got his angel, and the owner of the angel got his excalubur. everyone was happy.

I was currently in chile at the time, so my parents did the sending. The chileans were already impressed with my old e-mag, which i soon had to part ways with to obtain the sfl. My dad came down to visit me, and in toe was the sfl. It was greater than i could have imagined. Dansim sent it to AGD to be worked over, have the ace installed, and have the lvl 10 tuned before it reached me. I was extatic to have it. i quickly worked on my trigger, and got it set up perfectly.

2 weeks from the time i recieved it, i had the oppertunity to play with it in a tournament in Santiago. I traveled to santiago, to visit my friend, and friend of AGD Jon(whom introduced me to him) for the tournament. Everyone was blown away by the sfl. blazing fast, ace, and lvl 10. not a single chop, which was better than their impulses were doing. It was great. then the dreaded Ace troubles came into play.

one day, while tuning the trigger, the mysterious blue smoke had excaped. the ace had fried.... got back stateside, to IAO and had the ace replaced, this was the first tournament aftica had played in. The marker performed flawlessly the whole time, not a single hitch.

It kept on blazing through shatnerball, where i got the bug, the matrix bug. i tried trading it to the guys at the gen e booth, straight up for a nyx matrix, but their boss wouldnt have it. Thwarted. The sfl performed amazingly as always, but i was up for something new. So i put it for trade on pbn and ao. i got some ok offers, but nothing for what i wanted, a private label matrix. then... the owner before me contacted me. he said there is a bautiful blue to white fade toxic on ebay for cheep. he will buy it and trade it for the sfl.

i said you have a deal. so the final day rolls around, and the matrix is hovering around 800 not really moving. the seller on ebay unlists it at the last moment, just as my buyer was about to bid. he said it was insane to let it go for that cheep, and we all agreed. the origional owner of the sfl said that he wasnt paying over 900 for the matrix, where as the seller wanted 1000.

I went into the chat, bummed about what happened, and Edwierd comes on and says "let me look at some things, and il see what i cant do about buying it. well low and behold, eg comes back to me an says, hows 1000? i said thats perfect. Right before i went to send the sfl out to ed.. the dreaded ace problem came back again. as i was cleaning it and re assembling the sfl, what do i hear? FIZZZZ followed by that blue smoke, ace board 2 down. thats the pits. luckily ed still offers to buy the sfl. and the rest is history.

[Z-man]

Yay! I hope you spell checked it becasue I won't see the erroers . Putting it up now. Man that was fast.

EDIT: Ack and I had Edweird's name spelled EDWIERD bah!!!!! Thank you again Magman007!

[edweird]

I before e except after c ... unless the word is "weird"

Um once I got the SFL from mill "killer of ace boards" badwhateverhislastnameisagain I took it to World cup where I dropped its carcass off with RobAGD and asked him to make it workie again. So manny moon later and lots of irc conversation inbetween I get it back from rob and it works like a champ. Thanks rob again for the ace from his Xm and I still owe him a opusX for his trouble.

currently I have some solenoid plunger length issues and have yet to fix em, but other than that its tip top...

[magman007]

eh ok i can live with that

and, id change my name here, but then id have to change it every where else, and im already known

[Augiedoggy18]

Well, this thread is a bit old, but I'll add my SFL Emag to the mix. I bought it from Jeff Miller about a year ago. It still sits in its purple color, but that will probably be changing soon. It has had issues from the first day out (that I didn't know about when I bought the marker), but I hope Tuna can fix it up. Its got RobAGD a bit puzzled. He worked his butt off to help me out, and I appreciate it more than I can tell him. If I need to send pictures somewhere, just let me know.

If you ever want someone to take it off your hands LMK, I love Jeff's SFL. Not to mention, it will fit right in with all my other purple mags

I'm quite serious btw.

[CaptainNeeda]

How many?

Why doesent someone just e-mail shocktech and ask them how many Sfl mags they cranked out, then work from there?
