Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

[X00013]

And if you all want avoid the middle man, email   zjmcmag (zjmcmag@yahoo.com.cn) ,  with your request, size in mm ( which Mylows is), it would be polite to use google translater to Chinese, but you dont have to. Pictures help your cause, photo or CAD. Pole position is also an option. These people work to please. prices start at 25 cents us for the first 1k, price doubles for an order of 100. So that would be @ 50 cents US if you can wait 4 weeks. Below is a pic of my email response frome 3 weeks ago, I have not place an order due to the fact that I have not place an order, hope this this helps die hard builders, I cant find the will to order without Mylow on the forum.

Great find and thank you. With these prices, everyone can afford to try their duplication. $20 for 55 pieces plus shipping.

Maybe Sterlinga should be the middleman and we can all order from him?
Any other comments?

cheers

http://eclipse-magnetics.co.uk/product/magnet-materials/cast-alnico/minor - Part number M4144ANK

These are also called E801 when they painted and sold in sets of 10 in a box.

I also have an order confirmed (placed a few days ago) for 500 of the M4144ANK from Eclipse, also via WWSales.  These are unpainted.

Neither of these outfits (Eclipse nor WWSales) sell to end users.  They only sell to distributors. 

Eclipse is the UK will sell to anyone, I simply rang them up, asked for sales ang gave credit card over the phone.

They were packed up and shipped the next day. Very good service.

Cheers

Sean.

I guess it was just WW Sales, then, that doesn't sell to end users, just distributors.


I spent about six hours playing with the set-up Bob made, and had some close calls, but no full rotation yet. 

Be sure you are not ascribing uni-directional trend to the magnets when in fact the wheel might not be level.  For a minute there, I thought I was going to get it for sure.  Then I checked the level.

I came up with the idea of gluing the sets to plastic, which I can then move easily, without having to re-glue everything every time I want to move things over.

I've not yet tried gluing each magnet to an individual piece of plastic so I can move it and tape it down easily.  But that would be easier than re-gluing.  I'm getting better at gluing straight up on first attempt, but I get one crooked about every third time and have to re-do it.

Hot glue gun is very fast and forgiving.

I also came up with a way to easily space and align the small gap between magnets in a set, using a hanger from the center post and putting a small plastic jig in the right position.

I shot lots of video and a few photos.  Need to go to bed now, though.
