Location: New Hampsha | Anyone have a list of which Adamas models use the metalflake spakles on the bowl and in the top? They often don't show up in pics and I'd like to know which ones have the twinklecrap. |

Location: Bangkok, Thailand | Hi John,
I'm not sure that I understand your question correctly but here is the one with a very very nice sparkle both top and bowl.
It's belong to Povation now.
I have no idea who own it before and sell it to Povation (any idea?).
It's really really beautiful one I ever seen.

Location: New Hampsha | I actually like the top on that one; the brass/gold goes well with the cream. Very classy.
Stating that I Hate the bowl doesn't cover it..
Are all the early Adamii like that? |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Mitzdawg, seeing as no one has a list (or has volunteered one), why don't we just add them one by one. The 08C has sparkles on the bowl and top, but much more sparingly applied than the example above. Sometimes less is more.

Location: SoCal | When the original slotheads were built, every one was different. Several had a ton of sparkle, a number of them much less. When Adamii went into production, much less sparkle was used. Obviously, the slothead in the picture was a custom job and I would guess that the person who ordered it specified a lot of sparkle. The 47's and OFC'er's didn't have nearly that much sparkle....... |

| My 09C and 1687-8 RI have about the same amount of sparkle on the top as on the bowl, maybe a bit less than the 'Zilla's 47RI. It seems to me the couple of 1680s here this past weekend had less of the sparkles on the bowl. |

BTW, Utes (u681t-5) have sparkle on the top, but not the back. |
