Yes!Break out the green cloth!!
Hmm I wonder what color it will be
Well last I heard it was supposed to be black rhodium but that finish might have been changed. I guess we'll see shortly!
If it IS done in black rhodium, I believe it will be the first toggle done in BR!

Hopefully these images display properly and you gents can zoom in on them and follow along. Here is the Patent description, complements of Google. I used this mass of text to interpret the drawings while I began the disassembly.
Man I'll tell ya, I learned pretty quick that there's an easy way and a hard way to reassemble one of these things. Never thought I'd spend three days looking for a 2mm steel BB.That has a lot of springs that can cause parts to go flying.
Thank you Sir! I haven't had the best timing lately[emoji51]Welcome back, Cap!!! You came back just as I was leaving the country for a couple of weeks, or I'd have said something sooner!
