RE: Quantum harness repro - long shot

I'm in for one as long as it is a reasonable cost. I modded a space duel
harness for my quantum but did not fix it in place in anticipation of a
"real" one. Would be nice to have a clean harness mounted inside.

Subject: VECTOR: Quantum harness repro - long shot

 

For those of you that read KLOV, there's a guy there (Dokert) that hinted a
couple of years ago he might repro a Quantum harness. He has had some
health problems and has many other projects. I don't think he'll get to
this for several years if ever.

 

I have found a commericial place that will repro a harness to industrial
standards. Every harness is tested, not just one or two random ones in a
bunch. Every wire is pull strength tested. They do a lot of military work
(more than 50% of their business). I was very impressed with the place on a
walk through.

 

I'd like to repro this item, as I've got two machines myself that could use
it and since many Quantums were converted and de-converted, the harness is
the absolutely impossible piece to find. I know one can be hacked together
(as I have on mine), but I'd like to have an unhacked harness. Plus, I'd
like to extent the monitor connection so that you could easily test other
monitors.

 

So here's the long shot, would anyone that has an unhacked harness be
willing to remove it from their cabinet and loan it to me? I'd work out
some kind of compenstation with you. FYI, this place is local to me and I
would be physically driving it there and picking it up. Other than you
mailing it to me, it would never be mailed or shipped around to anyone else,
so it would not get lost in the mail. I am looking for the whole harness
(except for the control panel), the main wiring harness and the portion that
goes from the transformer brick to the marquee light, which I believe (but
not sure) is actually a separate piece. As to a time frame, it is not a
quick process. I'm guessing it could be as long as six months.

 

If interested, please contact me privately off list. If you might be on the
fence about this, please, please contact me and lets see if we can work this
out. I'm sure I'm not going to get a lot of people taking me up on this, so
you might be the only one willing to help this project out.

 

If it's commerically successful, I might be willing to try Major Havoc next
and I won't even have to ask for donors. I'll use my own.
