Well basically, I had a guilty ebay purchase of an omega clone the other day and when I received it I instantly noticed a big 'fu' problem.
As they have 3mm airholes drilled into the cap and well that only gives you the choice of one position, aka personally, and I think this goes for a lot of others too like to have their airholes sitting right infront of their coils at an angle.
Seeing as the airholes on this clone sat more towards the center post, this meant when coiling I had to keep the leads to the negative post at a considerable length to keep the coil infront of the airholes. This pissed me off as I'm a bit of a perfectionist and like everything to be neat, tidy and uniform down there.
The position of the airholes are like this:
But they should be like this:
So this morning I set about redrilling the well to the correct positions, like the above picture, but due to my bench drill being out of action and my hand drill not up to scratch, I've kinda trashed it with a hint of frustration. :/
So what have you got? clone or original either way, as long as the airholes are like the second picture!
