We all start somewhere, keep it up!SInce folks want to keep this thread high up, here's my progress. It's currently got vintage clamp, sink knob, and d-ring, with new-old parts transistors, and the rest are Roman's replicas plus a Blastech bubble strip. Someday I'm hoping to get to swap into more vintage on it, but for now, it looks and feels fantastic.View attachment 1524395
Thanks! I was deep into this several years back and then took a break, aka had kids, and now I've found myself with a bit more free time and am returning to old hobbies. My how the prices have changed on this build!We all start somewhere, keep it up!
The prices are pathetic… I remember when this hobby was to help one another, now it’s all about making money..Thanks!

They are out there, just keep your fingers crossedI am still waiting to find a second 'critical' component before hitting the green button on this project. The prices are indeed insane and I am just hoping to get lucky, to find a grenade part somewhere with no Star Wars culture. It seems finding the graflex and armitage shanks knob are relatively easier.
Wicked lucky… yours is the first one I’ve ever seen completed on YouTube too..I’m glad I got in the game early as each new part was discovered. I spent about $1350 total for all my parts.
There's definitely some people in it for the money, but supply and demand is also a major part. When you have people with seemingly unlimited dollars willing to spend them, it just drives the price.
The recent transistor discovery just makes it that much tougher to get a "complete" version.

“Only the balance pipe” not a bad start my friend!Thank you so much... wow, another thing to find... actually, it is the 'journey' that is the most fun part so I am not complaining.. Since I only have the balance pipe, I have a long way ahead
