Actually, I'm still waiting to hear back from another member to see if he wants to help take on the restoration process. He's got a lot of projects and wants to make sure he's going to have the time for it. Him and I briefly discussed maybe starting a group devoted to making a few for the members here. If I speak with him soon I'll bring it up. I didn't want to start too much work until I hear from him, shouldn't be too much longer.
Is there any interest on here for a group project?Anyone that might be, and wants to contribute go ahead and PM me so we can see how much interest there is.
Still waiting to hear from Rick, nothing yet though.
I've talked to some other members too and am waiting to hear back from one right now. He's a very cool guy and is going to see if he can come up with anything since he knows some folks at the late Icons.
At any rate, hopefully we can get something going here soon, I know there's plenty of people that would love to get their hands on this

Yeah, I know there isn't a lot people can do. I've been trying to find some more pics but there just doesn't seem to be any of the props aside from Rick's site. Even some Blueray caps would be helpful if anyone can catch any. Anyone here with any building/modeling experience that can help?
Forgot to mention I stopped by Radio Shack today, they had the Co-Ax Cables and the other knobs too that they connect too. Some of the other knobs though I've yet to identify. I'll post some clearer pictures of them and see if anyone recognizes them.
Just an update for everyone, a friend of Tazvader's that works for Hell's Kitchen Costume and Creature Workshop is going to be taking over the restoration. I just feel that it would be of greater benefit for everyone interested to let someone that has years of experience take over. It should be on its way soon enough, and I'll be frequently updated on the progress and will post pictures for everyone to see. This thing should look great when its done!!!
Well, just a small update to my small following with this project. The person who was going to help with the restoration has backed out due to being flooded with projects.
I'm kinda glad in a way though, I was going to miss being a part of restoring it since its one of my favorite props. I'm going to resume work on it starting tonight. Still trying to work on how to fix the bend in the barrels though. I don't have the kind of funds to do two casts so that's out of the question...
