Wanted: For Free / Trade - StarWars Yoke

<< < (4/5) > >>

Lilwolf:
btw, I see incomplete old yokes going on ebay for 90 - 250 bucks...  I think you will have some trouble finding someone willing to give you one.

On that note.  Anyone have any handles for sale?

waveryder:
The last yoke I saw on Ebay went for £35. Thats only about $70 which is "naff all". I think you just might have overpayed for yours considering its missing the handles! I dont see why anyone wouldnt be willing to cough up a yoke for a good cause. I have found people are pretty generous to other "Cab Junkies" on the forum. Not that it matters too much as I am pretty close to completion of my home built. The project just wont be much use to anyone else  :(.

ChadTower:

He's right - even a project yoke is worth well over $100.  A SW yoke isn't something you're going to get as a project donation.  Nice complete yokes go in the $200-300 range regularly.  If you saw one for $70 you should have snagged it - that was a steal.

rovingmind:
If you do get one, please post full cad spec drawings on the wiki for the rest of us.

That was the plan. I wanted to get the yokes structure cloned. Front chasis, rear chasis and support arm. I was going to get it done in plated steel but I think its a "no go" getting hold of one. Wish I had picked one up in the early days before the prices went crazy. I just didnt have the ability them  :'(

They manual diagrams are pretty good but its really kind of trial and error with the structure. I have been building a project yoke around menaces "How to" but have found that some of the "structural" info  cant be applied due to my chosen material.

No halm in trying  :dunno
