ErikRuud-  I'll have to look into this Par-Film stuff.  Do you know where I can order it?

Personal reasons?
His molds disintegrated after a few uses and the labour wasn't worth it.

If you're going for it then make a more permanent mold.

I was under the impression it was health reasons...

There was a post on r.g.v.a.c about why he wasn't doing *any* repro work anymore (and wasn't responding to emails and posts..), but damned if I kept it..:-(

maybe Peale remembers..<?>

 Id like a set of handles too... but it has to be about 50$ or less.

 Id also like to see a Happs style push button (concave, but with the underside supports like the older leaf ones - so as not to be able to see directly to the switch), that is in the same translucent blue as the tron handles..  AND...  

   -  Happs Competition Bat handle
   -  Balltop For Wico 8ways
   -  DOT Spinner Knob  (tron red : )  

 A few colors selection like red, orange, blue, and green would be nice.

 I was just thinking... that if the plastics were tough enough,  they wouldnt need a metal shaft - instead, just a plastic one so the light could reach the tops... or... you could make a hollow shaft so an LED
could be placed inside the tubes..

  Please make a poll for these, as Im sure they would sell like hotcakes.  Who wouldnt want a matching lit up control panel?  ^_^

I was planning on offering the blue and red, as well as triggers.

I know this would be a low demand request but any chance of doing two in green.
