I have received a copy of your letter relating to the STAR TECH
journal article (Troubleshooting Gun Games. Nov'97, Vl9, #9}, it
seems as though you might have almost taken offence to this
article.
After having reviewed my original sketch of this article, it seems
that in the reprint there was a couple of errors in the inductor
section {e.g.: The colors of the bands and secondly where it is
written correctly as the numbers 562 I typed in the value of
5.2mH instead of 5.6mH not that 5.2 is even a preferred value
that can be purchased!}.

I have also been back out to the workshop to measure the re-
sistance of all the various chokes we use with the following
results (using 2 different Fluke DMMs}:
• Inductor marked wide silver, green, blue, red= 23.1 ohms
• Black inductor marked 562 = 42 ohms
• Compact inductor 6x8mm marked 562 (which, please note,
is supplied by your major distributor in Australia, Leisure and
Allied Industries or Avel Pty, Ltd.} measures 22 ohms on one
meter and 22.6 on the other.

This was not my choice of replacement parts, but the parts that
are supplied to us as Happ spare parts and replacement parts
for your guns.
The modification of changing Rl, 68k to a lk resistor is also
now recommended by the above mentioned company for a
more sensitive gun. Maybe your issue of warranty is some-
thing you should take up with your distributors, or you could
even make sure that if you nominate a supplier, that they carry
your exact replacement parts you say are so important.

In all of these guns, we have performed all the modifications
listed in the STAR TECH Journal with 1000/o success! We don't
have a problem with the Happ guns after these mods have
been done.
Please remember, this is all we do. We repair and supply parts
and tech support to almost the whole of Western Australia and
whilst we have a few minor problems with your guns, we rec-
ommend and supply them as replacements to all our custom-
ers, because they are simply the best gun on the market -with-
out question! Please also note, the fact that we seem to target
the Happ board is mainly because they are almost every where
now, and rightly so.
Regards,
Joe McNicol
