ProMod's Marker Repair Thread!

Hey All!

For those that don't me, my name is Tony, and I am the author of the Vapor Tuning Guide. I've worked for several years as a gun tech at NewBreed Paintball, and I've worked on a wide variety of markers. (DC2s/Cockers, Pneumags/Xmags, Blazers, Sheridans, Ions, Egos, Vapors, Luxes, DMs, PMs, NTs, Spyders, Clones, Spyder-clones, Minis/Axes, Impulses .... you get the idea.) I've had several requests to do marker repairs via PbN, so I finally decided that it's time for me to make an official thread.

Here's My Service:
~You Pay Shipping Both Ways (USPS Flat Rate Boxes are $12.10 at most)
~Vapors get repaired and tech'd for free, usually within 24 hours (provided I don't have to replace any hard parts). This includes a full strip, clean, repair, auto-tune, and then fine-tune. I'll have the marker shooting around 280 off a 440 input.
~All other markers get repaired for $15. I'll most likely rebuild the marker as I see fit. (IE If I don't need to take the whole thing apart to fix it, I won't. It saves me time and money, which saves you time and money)
~If I need to solder anything, add $5. I can re-solder board harnesses and wired-eyes at the smallest. I prefer not to do surface mounts unless I absolutely have to.

And here's the fine print:
~"Hard Parts" constitutes anything that isn't an oring, lube, or common sense. If I have to pay for it, I need to pass along the fee.
~I reserve the right to refuse work on any marker I deem a liability. These include: Frankensteins (shocker/ion hybrids, shocker/ego hybrids, etc.) and markers I'd have to make tools for (think older sheridans with threaded valve stems; I only have autococker valve tools).
~I only ship back via USPS Flat Rate boxes because of their reliability. I've had issues with Brown and FedEx is too slow.
~All fees will be discussed beforehand. If I crack open your marker only to find something that needs to be replaced (think threadlock in the solenoid) then I will call/contact you immediately to figure out what you would like to do.

I own an SB so I'm quite familiar with them. And I can't email you buddy, PbN says you've chosen not to receive emails from other members. (It's a setting that you need to enable in the user control panel)

Promod saved me a bunch of time pointing me to the exact problem with my Vapor. I was able to resolve the issue, but Tony offered to have a look if I was not able to.

He is in the know about the latest updates Machine is working on.

Glad to hear your Vapor is back up and running! I wouldn't exactly call myself 'in the know', but I do tend to get questions answered when I ask enough.

Been using my blaster for weeks since you techd it and the only issue was the RAIN which it took like a champ on the only day it was a problem. Not sure if its the Vapor or Promods teching that makes it so awesome but im stoked I have both.

Glad to hear your vapor is behaving itself now!

And it's gotta be both. The Vapor is a really stable platform and it's easy to work on which makes my job of tuning it a hell of alot easier.

So I've got a very interesting problem here, it appears that my BOLT GUIDE has suffered some wear and I have no idea why. I've attached a pic to show you were the wear is (the wear is IN FRONT of the oring). Its only on the upper part fyi (one side).

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...funow/bolt.jpg

there are no leaks but the wear is bad enough where its no longer ROUND SHAPED and its pretty rough to the touch.

Any ideas? Any help would b appreciated, thanks.
