Cable Op Mask- Supplies, Info?

[SgtFang]

Crap! All I can find on google is animatronic stuff! Doesn't anyone still do it old school??? :unsure

Does anyone know where to still get really small cables, collars, etc, or know any good how-to articles?

Thanks!

Really wouldn't waste you money on it, it really doesn't help you much.

We use piano wire or you can use guitar strings.

You could try brake cables from a bicycle shop, they operate the same way.

Thanks! I'll probably lean toward Fettster's idea with the guitar strings though- these will need to be really flexible and thin. Does anyone know what the little things are called that attach to the ends with the Allen head set screws? I searched for "cable collars" and came up dry.

Thanks!
