Thinking wizzes workshop no longer sells the white reproduction gimbal joystick bellows. Does anyone have one they will part with?

Are you sure? I've heard this before but then they checked with him and found that he was still selling them.
 
I went to his site and attempted to order a few times. Keeps giving me an error. You?
I got the distinct impression they were no longer available, which is severely bad news for anyone with a gimball stick. Is he on Klov here under a diff name?

Is there an email address listed on his site? Try emailing him if so.
 
I looked and looked for an email link. Nothing. Here's what we get when ordering the bellows:

Your Order

Is something incorrect? Feel free to change your order.

ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

/cart/checkout.asp, line 165
 
Click on the customer service link at the top of his page and it'll tell you his email address.

It kept bombing at dead link when I did that. I'll try again. No biggy if he doesn't want any business. My dollars will be spent with someone that wants to sell something. So, dead link at email - dead link at ordering. Suspicions are - he's done. Please let me know otherwise if I am wrong. But I'm not going to chase my tail around in circles. Everything about his site is dead and he's done nothing with it in 5 to 10 years. There's not even an option to order anything over 1 in a single shipment. Never has been. Frustrated if you couldn't tell.

Since when is fear of Spam a legitimate reason to block email? His site will not take orders from Google Chrome. I suppose next I'll need to run Internet Explorer.

Zinfer, just take the nospam stuff off the front and start with tom and it'll go through. I did and it went through okay.
 
Yes. I did. I got the undeliverable, came back here - saw your message - posted then went back and sent another email and now wait.

I'm not sure what you're saying; it went through the last time you sent it?
 
Looks like that last attempt got through.
Hi Rodney,
Yeah, something is going on with the site and some browser versions, not sure what it is.. Whats your address for the shipping, I'll give you a total then..

THanks

I am buying 5 of them as this has scared the absolute bejesus out of me in the prospect of no bellows at all. With luck I may hear back tomorrow.

Hey, that's great news! Just be aware that they are reportedly a bit stiffer than the originals. He REALLY needs to get his site redone. Obviously it's not a priority.

Back in 2010, I ordered a pair from him for my Battlezone project and wasn't a bit sorry. I honestly like the stiffness as it reminds me of when things were brand new, young and not worn out.

With Red Baron I only need 1. However I have a spare BZ stick and Food Fight that I would like to rebuild to get them up to snuff just for spares and stock. So that wipes out 3, leaving me with 2 spare bellows IF I can get these ordered. :)
