Yes, I have them. But I left them off the picture so you could see how the solder pulled itself into the center (I'm the only one who thinks that is cool) and so you could see how you access the adjustment screws.
Soldering these puppies requires a bit of patience. It takes about 15 seconds to get the cap hot enough to flow solder, and about three minutes to get the Monsterweights hot enough. At least with my torch. Once hot enough, though, you can put the torch away, because that big weight stays hot enough to flow the solder for about five minutes, heh, heh.
