    Two cased CD800........different hinges


    Recommended Posts

    Micha,

    You have two very beautiful crosses there (and the cases don't hurt either :P ). I have to say I have never seen that standing hinge variation before. I had expected it would be the regular hinge on its end, but this is a totally different hinge / pin system. I know we have heard much of some manufacturers supplying parts to other firms. Do you think that perhaps they did not get their shipment of hinges from a supplier and had to make them from sheetmetal? And then had to modify the pins by adding that silver "stop"?

    I guess I 'm lucky, because I also have a standing hinge type pin variation. This one is only the third one I've seen like this. I posted a picture of mine on MCF a few months back. I have to say once again, Micha has hit 'gold' with these.
