WOW! Did I under-estimate the quantity involved. The are more like 200+ gears and 15 sets of handles. However, I have some good news and some bad news. Good news is that there are plenty of parts to go around; bad news is that ALL of the gears are the bigger one. :(

Regarding the handles - they are NOS, but they are repros. Unless you put one side by side with an original, most people will not notice. BONUS: they include triggers! Not plastic but metal formed to the same shape.

What I'd like to do is this: everyone interested in the gears just email me with an address to ship to and how many you need. Since I only have the large gear, I'll send two for the price of one ($5.00 each plus $3.20 Priority mail for any quantity that will fit in the envelope). If you are REALLY handy with a Dremel, maybe the second large one can be formed into the smaller one. I'll ship now and you can pay me later.

And if you want the handles, give me an address and quantity. I'll send 'em out for your inspection and if you like 'em, then Paypal or snail mail the money ($15 per handle/$30 per set plus shipping) or just send 'em back.

-----------------
UPDATE ON QUANTITY AVAILABLE-----

The gears are virtually unlimited, but 8 sets of handles are spoken for. If you already sent an email to me, please confirm with your address. Only one person actually had their address in their email.

PS: Yes, Tom these were slated for the Entertainment Science's "Turbo Sub" prototype/first production but never made it on the machines.
PPS: Another collector locally (Todd Bordelon) may still have some internal switches, springs and hardware for the handles. I'll find out tomorrow.
