Budweiser Tapper, Root beer Tapper New Tap Handles New price. Preorder

Here is the official preorder post. 130 shipped within the cont. U.S. is the price as long as I sell 20 sets(We have already started to make more, we are pretty confident we will hit the needed orders). It will be a 25 dollar deposit. Rest due when your set is ready to go. Will close this preorder on the 1st of the year. Should start shipping during January but possibly sooner depending on how fast we get to 20 sets(Shipping as they become available now. Most likely next week starting the Dec 18th) , and how much Christmas delays machining. After the preorder closes, sets will be 150. Can do a custom color tap handle portion if you would like as well for 25 per set. PayPal [email protected] . Please include klov tag, full contact info including email, shipping addresses, and phone number and how you want to be notified when your handles are ready. Will add names to this post when you are confirmed. These are machined steel with a cast top for the black tap portion. Very strong, very durable. Feel free to contact with any questions or concerns.

50 sets....

I could probably get it down another 15. So 115 shipped a set. If someone paid in full and or completed their order before that, I would refund the difference if it gets that many preorders. Might start making and shipping before the first from what it looks like.

Monday Morning Bump

Preorders are looking good, and I have orders from people not on klov so we have started making more. The first preorder is getting his sent out today. Will start sending others theirs later this week as I get more machined rods.A bump and an update. Let's get those Tappers working.

Bumping this up. For anyone needing the bases for the tap handles, I am pretty sure the base off a Galaga joystick will work if you take one spring and switch off. When I get home in a couple days I will measure and report back.

Please do, I was under the impression this was the case.
 
Two more shipped.

Two more ready to go out the door. Funny that for all the interest, we received more orders not on klov. Glad we can get these out and hear your feedback. Only 10 more days and we will be closing out these orders. Thanks to those on here that were interested an have placed orders so far.

I'm glad you are because you and your brother are the next in line. It's pretty awesome that I can get these out to people. I was so desperate when I needed them and nobody ever came through. Will be out to you before you know it.
Looking forward to getting these! :)

I sent a deposit payment too. Didn't see my name on the list, just verifying you received it?
 
I received my taps the other day, they look great. Excited to start this restore. Did anyone figure if regular galaga joystick bases will work?
 
Tapper bases

Not making a video, but there is a difference between galaga and Tapper basses. The major difference is that the 1 inch elongated hole in the top is shifted toward the switch side of the assembly a small, but significant amount. The solution is one of two things. Modify control panel opening, this also entails modify galaga assembly by redrilling the pivot point and switch mounting holes, or reworking the original galaga assembly by drilling spot welds, and shifting the mounting plate, and bumper forward, and open up the lower bracket assembly whole more to accommodate. Can do a video of the second one, but you will need some metal tools. Best option is that if I get enough interest, I could do a run of replica bases to get everybody up and going. I just provide the new frame, and you swap all of the galaga parts into it. Would look like this one. I am willing to make a couple if a few people are desperate. Can probably have it done and start sending out in a week or two no problem.

We are currently working on a video for exactly that.
 
As a bonus, if we start a preorder for bases, Those that already preordered handles, if you need one, you will be bumped to the top of the list and I will make sure you get a great deal as a thank you for putting your faith in me with the tap handle reproduction. I know preorders can be risky, and I want to make sure you know i appreciate it.
