When first introduced to the vector list, they were offered @ $85 and then the rest of the world @ $125. That was back when I had a job, and disposal of a full machine shop, so the parts were made internally. Since all of those option are gone, but I had 4 requests for more after run 2 was exhausted, I got quotes from local machine shops to make parts. The machining costs averaged over $500 before commercial parts were purchased. I think you can see the issue.
As for finding any "extra" full units. that not going to happen ether.... Im not even sure I saved one for myself :-(
OT:
Reproduction parts are a tough nut to crack! I reproduced the Moving Dalek head for the Dr Who pinball http://www.basementarcade.com/arcade/4sale/wobble/DHmore.html
But again, the sale price is well under machining costs alone so this is to be discontinued as well
My latest repro project is also pin related as we will be making a kit to move Earthshaker Institute in the Earthshaker pin.

Again parts machining are $627 for this unit if I don't do it myself. But people forget that items like the moving head on Dr Who and The building on Earthshaker were eliminated by William's because they COST TOO MUCH to make.
Sigh...

Not to rehash old news, but all this was available late 1999. http://www.basementarcade.com/arcade/4sale/ still has all the pictures up.
BUT, I sold the last full reproduction unit last fall (Serial # 85.. yea we made that many of them) and took the page down. I still have extra green rollers as well the steel rollers.
