I just picked up a set of NOS Kraken boxes, along with some other orphan box sets (2 sets Mistral, one Deluxe set, and two Scuba sets + a couple of valves).
I plan to install an HPR RAM in the Kraken boxes, so it will be a KRAM, I guess? There will be no ports but the Hookah adapter. I intend to sell it, since the only reason to buy the boxes is to give the RAM/HPR valve a home.
I also intend to cut some orphan Mistral top boxes for various RAM/DAAM projects, including the singlestage DAAM project (SSAM). I have 5 or 6 of them laying around. I need more bottoms!
Cutting for RAM/DAAM valves will require some laborious hoop-jumping to leave locating tabs. I'll probably cut a 1 7/8"" hole, then open it up by hand in order to leave the tab material.
The stuff should arrive tomorrow, so I'll post photos.

I now have a legit sh**-ton of Scuba and Deluxe parts. There's enough for 1 grade B Deluxe, and 5-6 grade B and A Scubas. I'll be left with a couple of nasty HW bits.
I also have a couple of pretty badly corroded DAAM and GL boxes along with Deluxe, and Scuba boxes. I'm thinking about Cerakoting them. They aren't worth rechroming, but cerakote might do it?
Eben, you must know about this?

Take a look at the difference between the top box of the Gold Label and the Deluxe Scuba's. The Gold Label is a deeper box. John |

John Yeah, the GL boxes are a major improvement in both materials and design. The ridged flanges are much more positive than the flat interface of the Scuba and Deluxe. |

Shoot da shoibit to me Hoibit! Wha'cha need pal? JB If you and Phil figure out a label design, I have a low budget idea for making a usable tabbed label as a one off... I'd tell you the details, but I want to save the the embarrassment for when you see a finished product! lol You come up with the art and send it, and get Phil to get me the diameter and tab widths, and I'll see if I can make something stupid! Best, James |

That sounds very intriguing! The circle is 65mm and the 7mm tabs are at 12, 4, and 8 o'clock. I can't wait to see what you've come up with!
