Hurry Jonsey hurry. Newt is thirsty.
Seriously, I want my next USCM toast at Dcon to be from a "Newt cup".

Oki I did some research on the Newts cup. As I have been down with the flu the last couple of weeks I haven't had time doing a visual survey yet. I ran through the sites of the local company suppliers going through the arsenal of 40 different cups and I must admit it looked grim. All had newer versions but then guess what!! There is actually still a company here that has them. Unfortunately I couldn't get a bigger picture. But here it is: (the brown one, it looks black but is 100 % brow by article name)

In a good case scenario I can get like 50 of them for about $ 10, twice the price as I cant order them through a company but as a private person (plus an insane shipping cost around $20, ill have to check out correct figures later) but first I also have to check with some local dealers to see if we can get them cheaper. I have also checked for resuppliers in UK and the States but they don't seem to have this article on their sites (they only have modern stuff).

Edit: But then again Newts cup seems to have a flat handle knob and this one doesn't (see this one have an slightly rise. But... **sigh** on another (the top) picture from another angle it looks a little bit flatter. I think we need more pics from Newt before doing the final sentence. Im going to my DVD right now!

Great! Absolutely fantastic!
I say this is the Legacy Board Cup.
Check it out and tell me how much money I have to put where to get a few of them.

Sorry. Not from here. Reccon the cups are out of production. All I could find are the ones above (Mk2 ), they are very similar but have a small pattern engraved on the top and a slight saddle for the thumb. The older ones used in the movie had flat rectangular tops on the knob as I remember them.

Hey peeps,
Don't suppose anyone here has had any luck finding the cup yet? I noticed the last post was 13 years ago nearly to the day as well but thought someone might have had some luck?

I was just searching eBay Yesterday for it actually. No luck.

Emptied my parents apartment a last autumn and found lots of stuff from the 80’s but no cups. Found some similar white ones I can always paint I brown but no…he..he.. besides the plastic is super brittle and I doubt any would have survived. However I have a good track on glass ash trays on Gateway as well as the cognac glasses. Think they are Ikea related. I had some acquaintances back in the days that had them and I just realized it a few years ago watching the movie for the #122 time (sic). Hey why is nobody collecting them?, must still be hundreds around in 2nd hand shops.
