On my wish list, sooo tired of looking for originals, the Emails I’ve sent out to different dental and orthodontist practices with hardly any replies is really disheartening

10 years ago there was a good chance to find a set.But now its really hard.Lots of people bought them to make money on ebay.But I think great painted copys are also good if you know the right color.I think real dynodes are a lot more important for a great ROTJ Reveal mask.

I’ve got the Dynodes they were my first item on my list, i might try the metal printed ones on shape ways, they look ok but I might tweek them a little then try a few different colour tests

I used one of those pieces in one that I did 16 years ago, it was not screen acurated and then I sold it to buy other pieces.
 
Trust me boys...you must scratch most of the parts.We are on the hunt for originalparts for over 10 years..others longer.Every year a new story what it could be...but at the end...nothing.
I´m really happy that we know that the dynodes and expanders are originalparts.Most of the parts are over 30,40or 50 years old..who knows.They used old parts from harwarestores and shops in europe for the Originalmask.I bought so much old typewriters to find the original "1-4"and "LTRS"stamped linkages...but nothing.But I hope one day somebody has luck.Let me know!:p:):thumbsup

Hi Frogfreak, As the members here have attempted to imply these parts are not easy to find, I'm not trying to discourage you but brace yourself for a quest. Here's what you can search for: EMI Photomultiplier Tube (this is probably the easiest of the parts to locate but you may have to go through a few to find one with the correct dynodes), the typewriter may have been a Mercedes -- best of luck to you finding the correct model 'cause I don't know what it was, and the Glenross Dental Expanders are probably the next most difficult part of any Star Wars prop to locate that has been identified. I've been looking for some for 16 years now and have only seen one single correct expander show up on eBay for $700.

Where to find the parts? Well, eBay is the obvious place to start. After that it's a question of chance as none of the parts have been made for decades.

Best of luck to us all!

Dave

You mean "trust me" not "thrust me". That sounds so wrong LOL!

Can you see anything when your wearing it?

I doubt anybody wore his VR (with the exception of the modded black series helmets). But visibility should be non existent due to the extra mesh with the shutters attached to it...check out the available reference pics of the VR´s inside and judge yourself ;)
