Nahash5150 9,362 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think just that silver volume knob in the center. It helps to convey the minimalist 'it should sound like it's not there' adage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanford lindstrom 34 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think that the metal should have BillD spelled out or at least BD as a part of it. If that is all that fits given the number of available pixels; I believe that everything else is of lesser importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahash5150 9,362 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Oh...it's a record weight, not a volume knob. I'm sorry. I'd prefer it without the 'BD'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zumbini 6,092 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Oh...it's a record weight, not a volume knob.... Here's a lousy cell phone photo (not mine!) of the original weight. The engraving reads: To Bill Dibble (Bill D) from all of your friends at the Carver Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engraving reads: To Bill Dibble (Bill D) from all of your friends at the Carver Site Ah k - never knew about that. Then that is certainly fitting for the medal - I just think the 'BD' is a little overbearing, perhaps if it was made a smaller font. But the just the silver knob gives it an iconic feel. All we need is a 'BillD C-1 modified owner' in the tooltip. Just my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumbini 6,092 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 ...All we need is a 'BillD C-1 modified owner' in the tooltip. Good point Greg. How about we use the existing MKII medal but in silver instead of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galaxyoilcan 89 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I cannot express how happy I am that this has finally happened. I too was unaware of the custom engraved platter weight presented to BillD by the site. I guess that all happened just before I joined or when I was brand new and clueless about it. It was a really nice gesture as is this medal to respect his work. The C-1 that I found on epray and later discovered to be an original mod done by BillD himself is one of my most prized possessions. Never having met, spoken to or corresponded with BillD is one of my biggest regrets. I concur with Gene and the others who support the design with the BD on the weight.

sanford lindstrom 34 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I am pleased that this concept has received a favorable response from forum members. I never met Bill and was a new member here when he first performed his magic on my C-1s. I feel fortunate to be a beneficiary of Bill's talents. Bill's initials on metal will keep him and his contributions in everyone's mind when searching through the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
