Still interested in lenses for the detention block cameras
Thanks, sounds good, and I appreciate you thinking of us also.
If your source doesn't work out, maybe ask member trooper, as he has had good success making bubble-free quality clear parts for Luke macrobinoculars. Just a thought.

I have had a lot of problems trying to cast these bubble free, so I am giving them to a member here who has a vacuum chamber and pressure pot and experience working with clear resin. At least this will enable you guys, and me to be able to finish are cameras
Hi A,
That should solve some if not all the casting issues you're having. Fingers crossed!
Hey Andy, checking in, any luck with molding the lens?
I have sent the lenses to a member in the US who has lots of experience working with clear resins so hopefully we'll have some nice lenses soon
great news...I am on the list as well
List?! How / where? I'm confirmed as interested, if there's a way to join or support that. Since a replica of the camera uses six slide viewers, I would need six lenses, I believe.

fyi, I've been posting about progress on replicas of the lights here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=98087&page=2&p=3965261&viewfull=1#post3965261
There were some really nice reference pics in this thread that have disappeared. Anyone care to repost them?
Very interested...but I can´t identify the "antenna" greeblies as turntable parts...what tonearm/ turntable are they from?

Hi Markus,
Talking to kurtyboy a couple of years ago I assumed that the antenna greeblies were Mitchell sweep arm stylus brushes. The little brushes unscrew and you can pull them out of the counterweight at the other end leaving you with the rod on its own.

The long rod is from the Michell sweep arm. These go for £100-£175 on Ebay
The big round part is from a Michell Hydraulic Reference Transciptor, The part numbered 1. The Tonearms go for £150-£250.
The other bar comes from the inside of a Michell turntable, not sure which one but the turntables go for big money.

Thanks for those ref pics. It seems simple enough for someone w lathe skills to turn out a few parts to make a kit. There's probably just not as much interest out there as say x wing pilot arm flares
also it's awesome that these parts were from old record players. Sux tho that vintage vinyl is so big right now.
