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.
