Re: Warehouse 13 Props Research Thread - Farnsworth, Tesla Gun...
thanks, i was gonna get em today, let us know which one asap. thanks!
OK...Went to Radio Shack to check out the 5.5mm (O.D.) size power jacks and it turns out the the O.D. is actually about 15mm (Waaaay too big).
Apparently the 5.5 O.D diameter is for the plug that goes in the hole (Silly me, thinking the 5.5OD is actually the size of the outer diameter of the product being sold.)
Anyhow, I picked up an inline phone jack (3.5MM O.D. of the HOLE...10mm O.D of the actual knurled ring), which looks close (Although I still have reservations...The size still seems a tad too big)-
Here s pic -
Only problem is that the knurling on the edge only covers half the edge (As can be seen in the pic).
I beleive the one on the actual prop goes across the entire edge.
It only cost a couple of bucks at radio shack, so no big deal.
I did some more searching and found theses (Which have the complete knurling) ...Same O.D. as the one I picked up at radio shack.

Now, the problem with this one is that with shipping and handling cost it comes out to about 22$ for two of these things.
Im going to keep looking for a cheaper alternative.
BTW Kylash, when you scaled your photo of the Farnsworth, what size did you get for the outer diamter of the jack port?
The one I got at Radio shack measures 10mm..It could be right, but it seems about 1 or two millemeters too big .
Any opinions?
