no i think it was first run of 08s

This press release applies to all Ego8 that were manufactured prior to 9th November 2007.

As a result of our continuous testing, we have recently discovered an Ego8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collar that displayed a defect that resulted in a leak that could only be stopped by replacing the swivel collar component.

Upon examining the faulty component, and with subsequent investigation, we have determined that there is a potential fault in a batch of material used to manufacture a number of Ego 8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collars. As such these components will need to be replaced as soon as possible.

Swivel Collars with a potential fault are easily identifiable by the "ECLIPSE" engraving on the component, in particular the spacing between the "C" and the "L" (see bottom image) and the spacing between the "S" and the final "E" (see top image).



- If the letters touch then the component is acceptable and does not need replacement.
- If there is a noticeable gap between the letters, as highlighted in the two attached pictures, then the component will need to be replaced as soon as possible to ensure the highest possible performance of your Ego8 marker.

Please refer to the attached images to determine if your Ego 8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collar is potentially faulty and if so please obtain a replacement using either of the methods outlined below:

Replacement Ego 8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collars will be available from the Eclipse Tech Support

I think he means the solenoids... Some of the solenoids in the first batch had faultys but I think they've either been sorted or have no problem.

Hope it helps

i would say if it was a fault a full year ago i am sure it would have sorted by now. shoot it before you buy it. who is the seller ?

 

[jahlad]

there was a problem in the solenoids of the very early 07s a change was made in production to stop it occuring in later ones and all of the earlier ones should have been sorted by now.
as lump posted a potential problem was spotted in testing that lead to the recall of the collars of some 08 markers

cheers guys think i got confused with the 08's. is there any noticeable marks or faults with the noids?

lump i don't know who the seller is as i have not picked an 07 yet. i was just told that there might be a couple of them a bit faulty.

cheers for your help guys

i really wouldnt worry about it, if it has been used for all of 07 then it will work
