USA: Wanted Old Style Bubble Caps
I have 40 new style bubble caps and I am looking to swap for old style bubble caps. The old style has 8 round holes on the riser and longer grooves on the cap. The new style has 3 milled holes on the riser and shorter grooves on the cap. Even swap and I am willing to pay for shipping both ways. PM if you have any questions. Hooch
Old style bubble cap on the bottom left and new style on the bottom right:

I am now down to 20. I can use either riser, so if you are interested we can do caps only.
Just out of curiosity, can you explain why you are choosing to use old instead of new. Is it just an issue of consistency - or do you have a preference for one over the other?
Sure @Myles , It is mostly for consistency. I am running 10 plates ATM and going up 4 or 6 more in January. I prefer the old style, I can push them here and there and they tend to resist foaming a tad better, but that is just in my opinion.
That's OK but if that is what you have found, have you tried concentrating the longer slotted caps on the lower plates, with the shorter ones higher up the column?
I did try 6 old on the bottom and 4 new on top.
@Myles thanks for your help. All gone.
