Glad to see old #19 still on the boards here. Seems I was one of the rare fools who actually got rid of theirā€™sā€¦ I purchased a 2nd hand as well though, so evidently I wasnā€™t the only bozo out there to do it lol. Man Iā€™d sure love to see if that polish I put on the rims and cups and the satin catch zone are all still in place, and how the patina has gotten to look on it after all these years. Thereā€™s just something that truly escapes my attempts to describe the look and feel of polished titanium and how it stands so clearly distinct from any aluminum alloy Iā€™ve ever seenā€¦ Plus the effect that polishing had on the annealed text turned out to be a super cool effect, almost lightening it up to a goldish but purplish kind of glossy sheen that was wholly unique in its own right. I was, however, quite sad that I couldnā€™t rightly replicate the texture of the raw machined finish when I went back to work the satin into the catch zone once the surface was worked to a high sheen.

Ahhh hereā€™s that familiar nostalgic longing setting in. Guess thatā€™s what I get not 10 minutes after popping back on the old YYE forums, after who knows how many years itā€™s beenā€¦ Good to be back, guys! Nice to see yā€™all still holding it down lol

I recognize your username! You wrote one of the YYR guides right? And didnā€™t you have quite an extensive collection of them

The cups are still polished, but I sanded the rest. As for the patina, it simply doesnā€™t exist. I donā€™t think it developed one over time. Or maybe it was polished again by a previous owner. Itā€™s probably as shiny as the last day you had it.

The bad news is, the sanding process gave it a terrible vibe. I shouldnā€™t have tinkered with it, but Iā€™m OCD, and one of the rims had been terribly damaged.

The good news, on the other hand, is that it still plays pretty well. The wonderful yoyodoc managed to improve the situation a great deal, reducing the vibe by a lot. Perhaps, Iā€™ll be able to improve it even more in the future if I manage to figure out what is causing the issue.

If you want to see any pictures of it, let me know. Iā€™ll be happy to send you some.
