Anyone Know if Elvis Trooper is Still Around
Hello All! I’ve tried contacting ElvisTrooper for more of his Tie Pilot & X Wing chest box pieces and code cylinders. Anyone know if he’s still around and offering these parts? Thanks for the help! Chad

Clothears costume make a great imperial hat, not sure if they sell the greebles separately, try reaching out to them.
If all else fails then this may help it’s an AN4 aluminium weld on fitting,
the backs aren’t always the same from different manufacturers, so it’s a bit hit and miss, but they are cheap.
You’d need to modify it a bit, cut it down and file a groove out of the top. But it’s not too far off for a couple of bucks.

You make a good product. Thanks for the quality. Here they are on my Bowcaster side plates (still in progress).
I thought they were turntable motor pulleys?

They are, from a Michell Transcriptors Hydraulic Reference. they would be rare on their own and the complete turntables are very expensive.

Seriously? I had no idea. I wonder how much they sell them for?
Michell/Transcriptors 50 Hz Pulley for Hydraulic Reference Turntable
Pulley for J.A. Michell or Transcriptors Hydraulic Reference turntables. This pulley will only function on 50 Hz AC mains such as found in Europe, UK and many other countries. This will not work on 60 Hz AC mains as found in USA, Canada and a number of other countries. Verify your AC mains...

So, I have some information here.
There is currently some legal battle because via family/friends Michell Engineering was supposed to pay Transcriptors in America a portion of profits since they were machining the same designs they brought over from America and I don’t think that happened. Or, at least, it stopped at some point.
Nothing was made “for” Star Wars like I thought. They bought bulk parts already made.
Currently transcriptors is able to machine replacement parts. They’re a little expensive but brand new made by the same company, basically. It’s really hit or miss. Their online store is like never stocked so I don’t know how often they’re actually making parts. The cone knobs I got in 2015 haven’t been in stock in years.
The 60hz pulley is the smaller one, 50(?) Hz is the larger one. Less rotations per unit of time, right?
I spoke to the grandson (I think) of the founder of transcriptors recently
