Hi, this may be a stupid question, but how exactly do i go about buying some PKE / Iona shells, ive been looking around a bit and keep hitting dead ends, they dont have to come from the uk, but if someone round the corner has a warehouse full of them that would be brilliant xD
been fiddling around with some timer circuits and springy mechanical stuff for the wings, intended to go in a lint brush kinda setup… but pound shops never seem to have the cheap junk you need at the time : \
I’m pretty sure I seen an Iona on eBay the other day…It’s obviously gonna need some mods to make it a PKE but failing that there’s always Guntahkella who offers the PKE kits…Might try giving him a shout. Nobody in the UK sells PKE kits that I’m aware off so US is probably your best bet!!
They come up on eBay fairly often, and honestly, I think using a real Iona is better than a cast shell. You’ll more than likely going to have to buy the entire “kit” the includes all the brushes and box and such if you go with eBay.
Yeah, if you use a real Iona, you have more space to work with inside the body of it for electronics. I’ve been building up an Iona for use as my new pke meter.
How come nobody’s bothered to make a cheaper version of the shell? Or a vac-form? Stupid question?
Motherpuss:
Gunthakela sells high quality resin shells. Check the For Sale forum.
GBdan did make cheap shell casts last year.. they were $10 each of the initial orders.
He even included wings as well.
Oh ok. I was merely curious, you know, the cost is so high, you’d figure one of us would’ve figured out another way.
