BTTF Futaba Delorean Remote Project

I just won this rotex 880 for $4 with 10 rolls of tape 5 red and 5 black :cool.

I figured I would just buy a rotex and have it just in case a label starts to peel off which I doubt it will but it's good to have around.
 
Small update, but important...

We're ramping back up on the Futaba project. Just got off the phone with my friend working on my electronics package and he's going to see about getting the complete system up and working ASAP. We are going to see how feasible it will be for a run of control units. Hopefully they will have integrated sound as well. The plan is for all of this to fit into the Unibox with the four 9v being hooked up in parallel for a good duration of charge.

I'm getting a package of the displays and circuit boards together for him this weekend and will have that out ASAP.

I'll have another update as soon as I can.

The package I intend to send out this weekend for my electronics guy should give a pretty good idea what will be in the "kit" as well.

Ideally, we'd like to put together two versions:

1. Builders kit - circuit board, molex w/ replica stop lens, COMPLETE Stanley display and support

2. Complete Add-on - all you do is supply a Futaba, 4 9v batteries and put on a completed package.

Absolutely no idea on the price and this isn't the thread for that type of discussion anyway ;)

GARY, GARY, GARY (was continuing the chant)
Put me down for package 2!! It would save me a lot of postage and running around getting the parts here in Oz

Definitely in for at least one of each version. :cool

What a bargain!..$4!! where did you find it? I have been checking ebay since Daniel mentioned what model to get. Saved search feature my butt

It looks like the rolls of tape I ordered have gone missing. Seller said they would ship more if these didn't turn up. I gave it an extra week but no luck.

Give it a couple more weeks. :lol

I saw that same Rotex on eBay, because I still have a saved search for it.
I had a feeling someone here would get it. :cool
 
It was clear and 60° today, so I finally had a chance to get one of the unibox enclosures painted this morning. If the paint is dry tonight I will add the switches and labels.
 
It's just as well, I'd have ended up bidding against pitbull and driving the price up. Do you know if the 660 is an acceptable alternative?
 
I would wait for another 880. I see them on eBay all the time.

I just bought an old 10 roll pack of Rotex red label tape on eBay,
so I could make some labels for you if you need them.
 
The paint has already dried, so I was finally able to put the Unibox together. :cool
 
Was the box of tapes from the UK? I had ordered 10 as well so you wouldn't need to order more!

The unibox came up really really well.
