Reproduction Tron Handles?
« on: October 12, 2004, 06:06:22 pm »
Just stumbled across Tron reproduction handles in a wide variety of colors.  Has anyone bought these or know anything about the seller?

Yep, I bought a pair of clear green ones from him a while back. They are very nice repros and they fit right on my Happ trigger stick like a glove. I also tried them on my original Tron stick for a perfect fit as well. The only thing you *may*. have to do is carefully scrape off any remains of the casting seams with a knife. This is not a big deal as Tom (owner of Specialty Plastics) removes 95% of the casting boogers before he ships them.
Grab a pair. You won't be disappointed.

Nope.
It will fit on a stick from Tron, Gorf, Satan's Hollow, Xenophobe stick which pop up on Ebay from time to time for a lot less than new from Happs

tron handles are too expensive of a project for me...

With that said, here's a tron CP, minus the plastic
