Battlezone parts needed bellows fire button grommet

I just picked up a BZ and I need a few things, if anyone has any used or new...

I guess RAM controls is out.

I need the bellows for the joysticks, I can't get through to Wizzes workshop either....

I also need the little aluminum grommet for the fire button....

Any ideas?

Thanks,

videogameparts.com (Mylstar on here?) sells fire button bezels: http://www.videogameparts.com/product.sc?productId=5&categoryId=11

Tom at Wizzes workshop is the only option I'm aware of for repro centering "bellows." (RAM was never "in" AFAIK, i.e. never shipped any). Keep trying to contact Wiz. What email address did you use for him?

NOS bellows show up from time to time.

Before I got mine from Wizzes, I considered cutting & grinding out all the old rubber from the two metal rings, then brazing in some metal springs...

If Tom retires from casting them, perhaps he can sell his mold to someone. It looks to me like it's just a urethane cast in an open mold. (And not even much effort made to reduce the bubbles in it.) Heck, even the mold design is pretty simple; shouldn't take too much effort to turn on a lathe...
 
I hope someone takes over making some of these parts. I wish I was a home machinist, but that stuff makes woodworking look easy, if you have the right tools.
