Cyclone what ever happened to the molds

[reaper68]

Just sitting here wondering like I often do what the heck ever happened to all the tooling associated with this darn thing. It has to be sitting somewhere on a shelf and I would venture to guess it ran about 80K to make all the happy happy joy joy stuff probably using some DME mold base. So what the heck happens to it?

Kinda like the TI elite 12 it has one of the best basket designs period with massive clearance and a huge spider landing area where did that stuff go? I wish they would make a monster version that was a 15 or 18 that would be ridiculousness. /rant

Also just saying how freaking cool would it be to do a wall of cyclones powered by either MS1000 or the new ti's just saying nothing like a hair trick at 18hz

I would love to see what a modern version could do, a couple of revs and I bet it would be badder then ever.......

i read about the guy that made the sub he wanted and make a metal proyto and was mad they used plastic
i talked with him about 5 years ago very very cool he had a load of ideas and made items ect that would kill the cyclone
look at the name on the pat. and you will start to find who made the idea pg bought the rights after
shit still very very cool sold me 2 with that and the frank miss them every day...lol

Your talking about Tom Danley, I would assume he makes some very interesting items.

I just thought what the heck has happened to the tooling for all this stuff I mean you looking at extrusion dies for the old M and MS heat sinks, molds for both casting baskets and creating the plastic portions of speaker components. What happens to it, I guess its because I work with these types of things I can't see paying the dollars for a mold to make class A surfaces then just scrapping it. Its mind boggling I would actually just like to see the tools themselves and who actually manufactured the individual components as it would be really interesting to me.

I have a extrution mold for MS sinks not by PG, but one i have got made by a company for me But yes, i also wonder where has the molds and tooling end up?

I thought most of it was cnc'd stuff?

[Nils]

Some stuff might be cnc'd but M, MS heatsinks are extruded
