I didn't realise they could be too tight (not that I tightened them that much) - I'll give that a whirl thanks
Edit: I've given that a go but to no avail - I think I'll have to take it apart and have a look at the mylar sheets and / or the spring itself. It could be that some gunk got near the c part of the sheets (although I kept them well separate when I was doing the drilling etc) or that the spring is wearing out and needs swapping with a less used one)

Bolt mod: a bit of work, but now you can get in there anytime you need to.
Definitely swap the spring for a less used key. I had a few bent ones in my 122 key, including E whose failure was my excuse to delve deep. Any kink in those old springs means you'll want a replacement. One I swapped those out, I was done.
Well, until the next step of getting shorter bolts so I could close the case without tension! They protrude quite a bit near the front.

Paypal wants some info of a transaction which doesn't fucking exist in my pp account.
Need more time to resolve the problem.

All in all, with breaks to go buy superglue and make lunch / wash up, it took me about 5 hours (so probably more like 3 1/2 hours of actual work time). Probably took me longer as I had to use what I believe is a jewellery drill due to my dremel not being able to hold a 1/16" drill bit (wrong collet). At least dismantling it now should only take 10 minutes or so

I was thinking "Paypal really don't get group buys do they" but then I realised that you're probably not running this as a group buy... Has someone disputed something? That often f****s up people on these forums...

I don't blame you! Paypal can be real arses - unfortunately they know that they've got you over a barrel as, by using their service, you've agreed to their terms and conditions which somewhere must say that they can pretty much do what they want when they want... Is it a keyboard transaction they're querying?

Paypal should be able to see that from their side too. They should be able to give you the transaction unique ID.

P.S. Won't ship any stuff before paypal unlock my account, sorry.
Paypal can behave like a real ***hole.
Be careful there Tinlong, remember what happened to Sixty...

What happened to Sixty? Did he fall into a wormhole? Is this all some evil experiment in space travel by Elon Musk?? That scoundrel.

Any news to the shipping status of the Kishsavers?

Since you left gh, I'll ask here. What's the status of my refund now that your account should be unlocked?

by nourathar
what is the status of this ? I paid for the kishsaver, but not yet for shipping.
I'm not in a hurry, but I am curious..

Tin mentioned shipping more this coming Friday, the US proxy has most(?) of the Kishsavers bound for North Americans. No clue on the European proxies' status.

Have a look at the OP. I'm pencilled in as the UK proxy, while Kurk and Snoopy are doing mainland Europe. But I've heard nothing about shipping since Tinnie's PP got locked. We're all waiting on that getting sorted out I think.

Afaik the problems are solved. But tinnie is busy and will ship on friday.

I'd like to be added to the wait list for a Kishsaver.
(At this point, I don't expect to get one this way, but it's still worth throwing my name in the event of a miracle)
Thanks!
