Innerspace Miniaturization Chips

It's mentioned that the correct heatsink is one for a TO-5 semiconductor. Is that a different size from a TO-99 heatsink, or are they the same thing?

It's also mentioned that it's a T-05 10-pin semiconductor inside. Is this different (just in look, not function) from a TO-99 semiconductor?

I made the chip part from scratch. I could never find a ten pin chip.

Anyone know what type of cufflink linkage they use, or have a screencap? I'm finding it ridiculously difficult to find octagonal gold cufflinks - surely such a thing (especially blank) should be easy to find....

I looked and looked for the cufflinks, all I could find was 14K gold, a bit out of my price range.

Yeah, that's all I could find too. Lots of T bars for cufflinks though, so if we could just get a brass octagon or two laser cut or something, it shouldn't be too hard to put together....

Next time I have a wedding or some formal event comming up I may spring for these.
Also I made a good contact with a company that does anodizing near my home, They anodized my blaster parts from Kpax's last run. so I may order some bare aluminum heatsinks and have them anodized in red, that will make a more acurate replica that my painted ones.

I would need to anodize quite a few heatsinks to make it worth the minimum batch price.
I need to re read the rules about polling for interest, but if it's there I may do a run on these chips for anyone that may want a pair.

I know this thread is older but has anyone ever tried making the
miniaturizing pod from the Film?

Not that I've seen, but here is cool link

Randy Cooper made a very limited 1/12 scale model kit of the Kraken which was produced by Monsters in Motion in 1996. Nothing before or since though as far as I know.

Wish this wasn't such a rare kit

 

[TheRealMe]

I made some more of these, little build video for you guys.

Awesome, would love a couple of these

Anyone know a good place to purchase 10 pin TO-5 relay chips for the center?

I don't believe it's a relay, looks more like an Op Amp, it an old style package and not used anymore, ether way will this work?

Think I'm going to purchase these as this looks similar to what TheRealMe used in his youtube video. I'm guessing the piece of tubing he used can be purchased at Lowes?

I'm still searching for the aluminum tube that goes in the center of the heatsink. TheRealMe used scrap metal for his video. I've found aluminum tubing that is 5/16 which fits the heatsink. However, the tubing is too thick (0.049). I've reached out to local hobby shops and the smallest they have is 0.035 which probably won't be thin enough.

I have everything else. Even the brass cufflinks. Its just this tubing that is causing an issue.
