The Bard, The Devil, The Andis, and Me.

Back in April or May, the Devil was extolling the virtues of this magical vintage vibrator. Of course I was naturally amused, and intrigued, so I kept pestering her to find this treasure that had been lost in the abyss of her basement. After a few weeks, it was located (well one of the two she has), and brought it with her to demonstrate its ability to deliver hysterical paroxysm on an epic scale. Following that demonstration, I needed no further convincing to get one of my own. The Devil also put that one in my charge for a week or so to tear it down, make sure it was in good safe working order, and such. The procedure I developed for it, was almost exactly duplicated as follows below for last night's adventure with the Bard's newest acquisition.

The Bard had a little experience with my Andis already, and was in the mood for a good deal after hearing about my incredible fortune in getting the White Cross without any competition from any other bidders. What she ended up with, is definitely a less common iteration of the Andis line, not in form or function, but in color and texture. The early models were a smooth sided aluminum housing, and almost all I have seen have been a bright, deep green. The later models came in a few colors, and each seems to have had its own texture as part of the die the housings were stamped out of. The green have an alligator-ish pattern, and the Bard's is a tan color, with a sort of leather grain pattern that is hard to tell if it is the paint/anodizing/finish or the metal itself that has this texture due to the shallow nature. On each half side the housings are screwed to a chassis that contains the electromagnet coil, and a flat steel arm with the post for attachments on the top and secured by four screws and screwplate inside on the bottom.

Behold, the before pictures:

I'll take some "after" pictures tonight. Maybe.
