Hello I would like to mod a Pharos grinder and have a list of parts from Voodoo Daddy but it seems he has lost the instruction pictures. Did anyone keep the PDF? Thanks Jim

Is he making the kits for the NEW STYLE Pharos?

As an aside, a few things I learned when I installed a gently-used VDD catch-cup mod:
- the new style bolt covers (on the old-style Pharos) have just a little larger outside diameter, so using the VDD O-rings gives too tight a fit.
- as long as the grinder is always used as a table-top grinder, the O-rings are more-or-less irrelevant.
- also, as long as the grinder is always used as a table-top grinder, cutting the original axle shaft is not necessary.

I have the original email from Will - voodoodaddy - but all the pics won't show up :oops: it has an explanation of what to do.

I got in touch with him a few months ago, and my impression is he's not offering kits any more. That's merely speculation as the question was not asked directly. Otherwise he's doing OK and checks in occasionally.

I contacted Will last month. He sent me a price list for all the VooDooDaddy parts. He has the full kits available. He also offered to install the kit for a reasonable fee. Now I just need a Pharos to install the kit on :). Unfortunately they won't work with the Pharos 2:

That's good news, you should be able to snag a Pharos 1, just takes a bit if time and perseverance.
