As seen in Rob's Flying Sub-o-rama thread -

These are some etched steel fan 'thingees' that I picked up at a local surplus place here in LA. Even the guy who runs the place didn't know what they were for, but the common thought is they are something from a motor that the wiring was wrapped around.

Doesn't really matter cause they look like they were made for the Moebius Flying Sub's engine cans.

They are a drop fit between the two posts on the engine cans and it is so thin (.014") you don't really need to do anything except center them and glue them in place with a drop of Cyano.

Here's the deal - a set of two is $1.00. Yep, a buck. My savings are your savings. To keep things simple on everyone, what we're going to do is this:

If you are interested, reply to this thread. I will send you a PM in a day or so that will have my snail mail address.

Send a dollar and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to me, and I'll send you the thingees the day after I get it. I'll tape them to a piece of card stock so they don't get bent. And they're so light, I think a regular 41 cent (or whatever it is now) will do. If you are outside the US and need a set, lemme know and we'll figure something out.

For something so cheap, it's not worth doing the PayPal thing. Besides, when we were building the Aurora kit way back when, we were sending in SASE's for all sorts of stuff we saw in Starlog and comic books and junk like that.

Hi Gene, Please put me down for 2 sets if that's ok? :thumbsup:
Hot Damn! :tongue:

Gene

Hi Gene, could I get two sets? Thank you very much.:wave:

Count me in for a couple of sets too.

Steve

Hi Gene..Those look much better than what I came up with.
One set please.

Steve

Dang, those are neat!

I'd like to get one set as well.

Thanks for finding them. 2 sets please.

I'd like a set, if there are any left!

ill take two sets please

OK, PM's sent to everyone here (and a few who PM'd me). Please let me know if you want a set in the thread. I don't want to fill up the PM box. Thanks.

Gene

PM me with your address so I can send a SSAE sent for a set for me. Those look like the cooling fins for the bottom of hot running FETS like we use at my work. But your look hella cooler. Thanks Gene.. Milt

Hi Gene

I would be interested in a set . We will have to arrange ourselve a bit cause I live in Montreal, canada.

Thanks, Gaétan

Please PM me, or send me an e-mail. ( Scorpitat2@Comcast.net ).

Would love a set, if possible.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Scorp.

I'd like 2 sets please!

Drew

I'd like 2 sets as well, please PM me with your address so I can send you the money and a sase.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Gene, I would likea couple of sets as well if these are still available Thanks!! Gary

OK, everybody has had their inquiries replied to. I still have something like 15 sets left if anybody else wants one or two.

Later,

Gene

Gene, I and my fellow modelers here in Marietta would like to buy 10 (ten) sets if at all possible. I will cover any extra postage with a bigger envelope and such.

I'd be interested in a set here in the UK if we can sort something out.

Iain

Put me down for a set, please.

I'd like 2 sets thanks

I live in Ottawa,Canada

Gerry

Well, that was quick. 50 sets sold out like that. I'm going to have to go out and get some more over the weekend. If you got a PM from me, your order is good and I have the parts here. Just send in the money/envelopes.

As for the people who didn't get in on the first batch.....hmmm... in the meantime, I guess you can just reply to the thread and I'll keep a list going. I'll send y'all a PM when I get some more. I should be able to get some this weekend, but work has a way of popping up and spoiling my weekends. I'll keep you updated.

Gene

If you're into doing it, selling a "box-o-greeblees" with these and random other bits and pieces you pick up at your surplus stores would probably be a good seller around the SF modeller's boards. I have no clue where to look in this area of the country.

For the "fan" pieces when you have more; I'm a bit lazy, do you do paypal? I understand extra handling charges may apply. OK I'm a lot lazy. But mailing SASEs is so 60s. ;)

Haven't started the model yet, heck haven't even bought it yet, but I plan to. I'll take two sets when you get some more.

Why two? 'Cuz knowing me I'll screw at least one of them up!!

Vindi

I would like two sets, thanks

Hi Gene -

I would be interested in two sets if you end up getting some more.
Thank you very much for the offer, that is very nice of you!

Kirk

Count me in for one set

OK guys, I'm dropping the first group (something like 7 people, total) in the mail today. Mostly local people from LA area. Since you didn't include your 'handle', I can't match everyone up to the responses here.

I'm still planning on going out and getting some more this weekend. When I do, I'll start sending out PM's again with my address.

Later,

Gene

Since I'm a latecomer to this thread, I'm gonna want 3 sets (because I'm gonna keep my third FS-1 build for one of these fine days after I retire). :thumbsup:

OK, I have more of these 'in stock' now and I've replied to the latest requests. Feel free to order some more.

Gene

Whoa I just saw the thread and how fast the thingees went. :freak:
Is there still a chance of getting a set?:confused:

I'd like two sets if you still have them. Please PM me with your address.

My Thanks

Louis

Howdy!

If you get more I would like 2 sets!

Thanks!

Mark Dean

Plenty left, PM's replied to. And a few more in the mail...... Some of the West Coast people should have gotten theirs by now.....

Gene

I would like to purchase 4 sets for my brother and I can you send me the info?

Thanks Adam Spivey

Hi I'd like two sets as well Please PM me with your address, Thanks!

Dang! These things are shipping out as fast as...as...Flying Sub engine fan thingees!! :hat:

Dave

New Bedford, MA

Forgot to say my set arrived safe n sound, and say thanks again!

Bad me!

OK, everybody has had their inquiries replied to. I still have something like 15 sets left if anybody else wants one or two.

Later,

Gene

Gene, I ment to say thank you for my two sets, they got here fast and look great.......:thumbsup:

Gene
I hope it isn't too late for me. I'd like to have 2 sets.
The problem is: I live in Brazil.
How could we deal with that?

Can I get 2 sets too please.:wave:

I'll take two pair if you still have some left. One pair if you're really low! :)

I got a PM the other day asking if I still have some of these left. I then noticed some posts here from September that I don't think I replied to - my bad.

I do still have plenty of these things left..... So, if anybody is still interested, PLEASE SEND ME A PM. I promise I'll check the PM box better. Same deal as before - send me a PM and I'll e-mail you with my address. Still only doing the cash/S.A.S.E. thing. But it seems to have worked before.......

Fernando, we'll figure something out.......

Gene

PM sent

Dave P and Mihail - Your fan blade thingees are in the mail today......

Gene

Yea!! :thumbsup:
