Well here it is then. The new Planet Eclipse Nexus Signature Series Eclipse Cocker.
As you can see, it is quite revolutionary in its design. There is no conventional front block, the Front Reg Mount now houses the manifold and the LPR and the ram is mounted to the body via a small bolt-on bracket.
This gives the same size valve chamber as a standard cocker (minus what would have been inside the semi-block screw) but the length of a mini-cocker up front.
The second benefit is that there is now a dedicated air feed direct to the LPR, before the valve chamber. This is obviously with the aim of keeping the LPR supplied with maximum available pressure direct from the in-line reg.
As well as all that, the Ram is a new design from Belsales. A completely in-house design, as opposed to the modified off-the-shelf SMC ram.
The body is 3D surface machined, and as small, yet stylish as we could possibly make it. If you look, you can see that it is the same width as the frame, where possible. There are loads of really cool little features, like the eye cover sitting inside the body in the lower half (you can't sink it in at the top because of the depth of the sensor!) and the diamond shaped NEXUS Logos at the back.

What you see in the pics is what you get, plus the internals are Supercharger Valve, a new Eclipse DART delrin bolt and pin (the bolt in this gun is a Supercharger), New Eclipse Rex(TM) hammer and dialler kit. So you get the Grip feed tube, ultra-light, Black-Magic etc etc

Sooooooooooo. Wha'dya Think?????????

By the way, it will be at Chicago NPPL, but not to buy! Sorry!

Cheers

Jack Wood

Holy Shnickees!

I'm no massive fan of cockers but you have outdone your self there Mr Wood and Planet team - that is a freakin' piece of art!

What can I say - I want one, but I fear I might stumble at the all important part...

How much is it?

I've wanted a Planet E-blade cocker in the past but have had to order from the US or canada because the e-orracles are so much cheaper - so what's the damage?

Now that's a very good point! I would imagine it would be the same though, as even the new worr blade suposedly has exactly the same internals...

I will have the final price later today, or after the weekend.
It is more than a current Eclipse eBlade cocker, primarily because the machining is more expensive, and the barrel is obviously more expensive and the Grip feed etc
They will be in smaller numbers than the current gun, which will continue at the current spec.

But most importantly, I have 8 team mates who have first dibs on the first ones off the line (for "line"- see end of my work bench!). Or my life won't be worth livin'!!!!!!
