2010 kit jaguars

[Zholl]

To answer for Howie (we're on the same team), we had an issue with all four of our jags last year frying at the same time. We're wondering if the jags in the new kop are more reliable, ie, there's been some kind of revision to improve it with the later serial numbers (not sure the best way to explain it). We know the new black ones are supposed to be more reliable

Does anyone else know for a fact that the black jags no longer face the same issues that was seen on last year's jaguars? Has anyone who has had time to play with the black jaguar reported any failures?

Our team needs to decide on jaguars or victors soon, and if the black jaguars are just as unreliable as the jaguars were last year, we might shell out the extra $30 each and use victors.

Quick question for anyone who went to the northeastern kickoff... does anyone know what parts from the KOP were missing?

The black jaguars definitely got some component upgrades to help address some of the problems found last year.

Please note, however, that I am not going to vouch for the black jaguar's reliability. At the failure rate seen in the gray jags (very low), there simply aren't enough black jags out there among the beta testers to give a statiscal sample size worth commenting on.

You need to be wary of static discharge near the Jags. I suggest covering the unused pins with an insulator.

We were able to repeat failures and trace it to static.

Manchester was out of the main regulator and gloves when we picked up our kit.
