That guns a beauty man! Hope you still have most of it?

Those 3/4" QEV's are pretty nice... I think they cost around $20 here in the US each... well at least from McMaster-Carr

@BTB: I get the idea you're replying to a post from earlier in the thread?

The posts on page 1 are quite old now. You seem to have missed the later pages.

I am confused on what type of pneumatic it is, is it a piston?

*facepalmheaddeskcombo* (So now it appears twice on the search function!)

Two posts, just two posts above yours, BTB makes a point of talking about the same thing as you just asked. If you had read the thread title, such things would have been obvious.

It uses Quick Exhaust Valves, which are essentially pre-made piston or diaphragm valves. In this case, it's the piston variant yes, but really, the question didn't need to be asked. If you'd just read through the thread, it would have been completely apparent.

Sorry to snap like that, but you chose the question right after BTB had talked about exactly the same kind of question that could have been answered by the poster if they had just read.

There was a deal they had going on Ebay, I don't know if its still up or not but it was 2 QEVs for like $24. I just got mine today, they were 3/4". It was a score when I opened the box and saw 2 packages instead of one. =)

The seller was CRAZYKWAY

Its kindof ironic how JSR makes his own words, then you go and make your word after complementing (ironic statement) JSR on his ability to pronounce them.

I wonder how much you actually leanred from your linguistic mother :D

Not at all, it was JSR that came up with facepalmheaddeskcombo in the first place, right here:

Hmm, the server has been rather unstable recently, is it possible that it linked you to the future somehow?

I would consult my book of Time travel I have bought next year on the matter you will had, but I have hitherto to built my DeLorean one week ago, so I won't have still yet to visit the store back.

If you rang me back yesterday, I will had the answer by then.

You have a time machine too? Apparently I built one tomorrow and used it to go back to December to film my comp video from a different angle, but when I went down to upload it I saw me and attacked him with a throwing dart before realising that I'd just killed myself. My brain wiped the whole incident from my memory to keep me from going crazy, and I'm actually typing this post on February the seventh to warn me that I'm about to be killed a month ago in two days.

On a side note, I think my brain's about to explode.

And some people think they have problems with minor things like the store being out their favourite celebrity magazine.
They will never know what it's like to have such temporal paradoxes.

I had some university work to do last week, and I was struggling like mad at it, when I come in through my door with the work, and hand it to myself. So, I hand the work in, get it back with a mark sheet attached, take the sheet off, then go back in time and hand the work to myself so I can hand it in. When I asked myself about the work being forever stuck in the time loop and therefore infinitely old I told myself that it didn't matter - when I got round to answering the question myself, I realised I was lying.

So it does matter, but I didn't mind, and because of mind over matter, it was all sorted just fine.
