U47 Body Sources?

jpsexton · Aug 26, 2014

I ordered my D-EF47 circuit boards today and will be ordering the other parts over the next day or so. I haven't really found a reasonably priced source for a body yet though. I am considering using a Alctron GT-2B and machining a new body tube like Enchilada's build but If I could find something ready made I would rather. Anyone know of something?

Thanks,

John

Hi,

If you hang on a couple of weeks I have some exciting news about U47 bodies.

Regards

Looking forward to it.

I'm working on plan B but I'm not entirely happy with it...

Hi,

Why not make one out a copper tube like I did!

I'd like to build bodies like that, but installing the screens seems intimidating.

That was one of my plan B's but apparently in the US everything above 1.750" is PVC in the plumbing stores. I never could find the copper.

I'm making a body for the GT-2B out of exhaust pipe. It will work temporarily but I want something more faithful to the original...

Regards,

John
