Dan, I don't think I ever saw or fooled with either the skyway or xdusor - other than seeing them in magazines. I don't recall them being related to super trapp. I'll bet that Dane would have known where they came from, also possibly Jackie, or Larry Maiers.

Somehow along the way I ended up with a bag of xdusor tuning discs in my toolbox, which I still have.

They are NOS in their original bag, and are free to a good home if anyone wants or needs them.

I never had to take mine apart, and wasn't aware that they were tunable with discs like that. They were just so unusual looking. I thought that they kind of resembled a land mine! I just have a memory of reading somewhere that the Xducers were the predecessors to the SuperTrapp.If I ever find one, or one finds me, I'll let you know.

Per the SuperTrapp instructions, there is a spring that goes between the End Cap and the nut/acorn nut on the end of the Hook Bolt.  It is actually supposed to be tightened until the spring closes completely (blasphemy!) so that when the unit gets hot there will still be tension on the discs.  I have the 4 page instructions and tuning guide if anybody is interested.  Cheers.

Hi Mike,

That's very interesting. Could you scan and post the instructions and tuning guide? This probably would be useful for many.

Cheers

Ok, now I'm in hot water!  I can scan with no problem but, I'll have to flail around a little while I learn how to post them.  To be continued...

I would be interested in that file also. Email it to me if that is easier. My email is dpmcenthusiast at aol dot com.
  Thanks a lot,

I got mine scanned but I also have to figure out how to post them.

Just got off the phone with Mike H. and he's having some computer issues, but has a hard copy of the tuning info that he is going to snail mail me. Once I get them, I'll scan them into my computer and email them to interested parties, unless I can figure out how to post them also! I suck at that kind of stuff! So, stay tuned for further developments as they become available.

Ok, computer decided to grenade itself last night. No worries though, SuperTrapp stuff is on it's way via old school USPS to a fellow POG member so that it can get posted.  Cheers.

I have the sheet that came with them. I'll look up what it says for a starting point for # of discs on a 400. I have one on my Rokon.
