I've sent some assa cylinders around in some trades
And people have been wondering what kind of pins they contain.
I opened two before and one of them contained :assaspool:

and some kind of spool

Here are some pictures of the pins inside one i gutted(some unusual kind of spools):

Interesting. I don't see any serrations or the like. Do they pick like spool pins?

I would say yes
I get counter rotation and a deep false set
But i dont know if all of these cylinder contains these pins.
Like i said..i gutted two cylinders and one or two of them contained :assaspool:

and this type of pins.

Those look really interesting Falcon. So is the first pin an hourglass shape as well. If so, it looks different that all the others. Is it just the camera angle?

I have made some custom pins that kinda look like this, but have never seen anything like that mass produced. Neat find!

Cheers,
Ed

The first pin is a regular pin :stddriver:

I forgot to mention that
I have seen this kind of pins once before - in a old trio or ving cylinder.
I think i sent you one of these assas in our trade btw :smile:

Kind of late reply

This an old type of spools. Found in most older ASSAs. Feedback a bit smoother than a regular spool.
