old stock LED, first angel, what should I do?

Azzy · 02-02-2008, 07:28 PM

OK, always wanted one of these since I got into paintball, a 99 Angel LED, with a single finger 45 frame and stock Jacko barrel. Bone stock as far as I can tell

Never had one, and no one around here has had one, so Im wondering what I should look out for?

Upkeep? Ive seen the manual, but is there anything that 7 or so years of experiance would tell me?

Should I get my one HPA tank hydro'd and get an LP reg for it? Or just dedicate a CO2 tank to it with a AS tube? What do they prefer?

LED's are HP guns .. I wouldn't suggest CO2 in it either. Stock chargers are hard to come by .. Get several noid and flashtank gasket kits .. Be REALLY careful with the o-rings around the 14 way ...

Most real problems with them seem to stem from batteries and charging, but I have seen a few stock ones break their microswitch, the stock trigger from earlier ones has no adjustment, and is stopped by the switch itself greatly increasing wear. If you have an adjustable one just make sure that it is adjusted to where it depresses the leaf on the switch, not slamming into the switch itself.

The only real upgrade I'd recommend is a new board, mainly just to switch to 9v batteries, Vaporworks has some universal boards in stock, those are small enough to probably fit in there with a 9v.

I still use a 99 Jacko Infinity that came of a friends LED on my Angel LCD today.

Oh, and watch out not to get dirt in the charger/intellefeed port, they have these little holes that are very hard to clean.

Oh, didnt mention it... wont be upgrading this thing. Going to play stock

Maybe, just maybe, I would throw a dynabolt kit in, but that is it.

OK... got it in, plan on ordering an oring kit, maybe a new cupseal as well.

A bit of rust in the breech pin, but mechanically, everything else looks fine. Has a Kapp midrise (?) which is unfortunate, but I bet I will find a stock one some day. Also has a gold trigger...

Battery is dead, turned on, blinked, pulled the trigger once, click (no air) and then... no LED in back.

Previous owner has a charge somewhere, but I probably wont see it till next week if he finds it this weekend.

Oh, behind the thing with the orange sticker and is secured with the screw that takes 2 pins... whats that?

IM thinking it's the LPr....

These new fangled elctros are so darn confusing...

ehalcik · 02-08-2008, 01:26 AM

is it kinda goldish in color? looks like a little cone with a threaded hole in the center? That is the lpr .. it adjusts pressure by shimming

Battery is the weak link they do not like to sit unused there are a few guys around that rebuild the batterys/ swap them. Post up on the Tinkers guild when you know for sure.
