well i contacted them about the 2 clippard minimatic valves for the pack and gun and this is what they said…

I have been passed your details by Clippard Europe office. The West Group are the sole distributors in the UK for the Clippard Minimatic range of products. It is my pleasure to offer you the following quotation:

R-331 Modular Valve £51.34 each net 2 in stock

R-701 Modular Valve £41.98 each net 7 days delivery

Carriage: £11.95 per shipment

Payment: Credit Cards accepted

Prices: All prices are excluding VAT

thats almost $170?? i nearly fell of my pc chair is that the price you guys pay or does everyone use the resin parts?

i was hoping to use all real parts in my build but thers no way im paying that…

No…no that is not what most pay. I believe Clippard’s US site lists them both for under $30 each.

R-701: $24.23

R-331: $29.63

I’m not sure what alternatives you have, aside from looking for some for sale either on here or on eBay.

if anyone has any of these 2 clippards id be interested in buying them providing the price is right

cheers guys..

This is why living in the UK is a pain in the arse ( amongst other things :stuck_out_tongue: ) We pay through the nose for just about everything.

Keep an eye on the International auctions for them on ebay now and then you can scoop them up for much less.

Or if you have a friend in the US who can order them for you.

A while ago, SGC did an order to save on shipping, then shipped them to the UK afterwards.

Worked out cheaper paying for them both to be shipped to a US address then getting them forwarded to the UK with the USPS than the cost of one of them from the UK supplier (but the exchange rate has changed now)

sigh…

i guess i will just keep an eye on ebay if that fails its the resin parts

but if anyone has any for sale please let me know…

thanks fellas

Just ask someone nicely if they wouldnt mind posting them to you from the USA.

Will still work out cheaper, even if you give them some money for their time

Or you can just order a set of resin replicas from Irri’s site unless you are die hard on having actual clippard valves. www.multimediamayhem.net

I’d love to be able to stock “real” clippard valves but the outlay is just too much to have them sitting around. I do have resin ones as does Nic-a-tron who resides in the UK, look him up.

There was a dude here on the forum that was selling them cheap ,but I went to look for his for sale threads and they are

gone.That’s where I bought mine.

I think his user name was JayStantz,
