The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

"That's inside the ROOM!"

Lots of packages for me, today. It's like Christmas! It's the wrong model minilight. It's a 6410 instead of a 6415 or something. It appeared the only difference was the markings for the switch position, but it gets painted anyway, so who cares, right?

My Hama timer should be here this week.

If anyone knows where I can get a Hama viewer, or a transformer, let me know. ;)

And here I thought finding the Kango would be the hard part. :lol:

Does your Hama timer come with the box? Jus asking becasue the box itself is hard to find.

Regarding missing parts try ebxx.

In Germany the Hama viewer was still sold in some photo or electronics stores last year.
I can check in the next days if they still sell it.

I’m close to finish my PR build and hoping to start my MT build latest march.
If you have a question send me a PM and good luck with the pump widget.

In case you like to have a part reference:

Thanks! I've been scouring UK and DE auction sites for the last several weeks, the Jobo light came from UK.

I actually may have a viewer coming now, from a friend in the Netherlands.

The sphyg..., sphygomamo... shyphgo... PUMP WIDGET, I'm looking for the real deal, based off information you guys here came up with- the search function has been a huge help, as has all the work and research you guys here have done over the years.

Made some progress today...

Now what? Man, was this thing a bear to take apart.
Image

Oh, Right. THAT.
Image

Slicey, dicey.
Image

Yuck. Can even molecular acid take this stuff off?
Image

Actually, Dawn detergent did a nice job.
Image

Like Outkast, So fresh and so clean... Well, there's some in the nooks and crannies, but it should be fine.
Image

So, Hama viewer and transformer casting are on the way. Hama timer and case should have been here today... Hmm.

Thanks! I may actually end up molding this stuff, now all my friends want one. I should make 'em track down all the parts though.

Scored another part today. :delta:

I have mostly original parts either on my bench or on the way. With the exception of the sphygmomanometer casing and the T28 calculator card.

I'm reproducing the SL-85 keypad (wait until you see that! ;) ) and I have a casting of the Matchbox transformer. There's some on Ebay right now, but they're complete Powertrack sets and I don't want to pay for shipping one of those out of the UK. If it was just the transformer I wouldn't mind so much.

I'd LIKE to add a screen. Whether I get to it, that's another story. :lol:
