I was recently given an Angel LED the battery is dead, there is no HPR, thankfully it has been changed for standard HPR threads and it was tuned to be very quick before it was retired, many years ago. Since it was retired it has stayed indoors in a coolish dry building and has not done much. My question for you fine people is a matter of opinion and options. I have heard from TAG that there are not any mainstream Angel techs around right now that have parts and the 2 main parts that go bad, the solenoid and ram are difficult to find.
I was able to talk to a member here that was at Supergame and he has agreed to take a look at the marker fix it if possible and see if he can find any parts if it needs them. I like casting a wide net though and wanted to ask if anyone has any parts for theses or knows of modifications like the rebuildable ram for the A1 that work for the LED.
I would like to make this marker something that can be used for years to come, so if there is something you would modify on the inside of the marker and make it last longer and more usable for years to come I am all ears. I have to be honest here I would like to keep this on a small budget though as this marker while fun is in the minor leagues for backups and will not see a ton of play time.
Ideas that i have include using an arduino or arduino based board like the scifi or morlock board and replacing the battery with a 18650 or something similar. Replace the parts i can and find parts that work the same and fit in that marker.
Another idea and I am not sure if this is possible but replace the parts that I can and make a mechanical Angel much like the mechanical Ion.
I am in the early stages of planning on this and if someone has an idea that sounds better I have no qualm with going that route, I also understand that this might be over my head or outside the budget of what i am willing to spend.
