As part of an ongoing exercise in bringing some of these back to a fully configured condition, I have been commissioning the manufacture of other reproduction parts. The latest of these being the 12x60 face mask frame assys. Often these are missing or broken/damaged in some way, finding original replacements is not possible. So I had some reproductions made, using originals as forms. These are the photos of them straight out of the mold. |

Here is the main maskframe assy, compared with an original. There remains some hand finishing to be done, but I am quite please how they turned out. When finished, drilled, tapped and painted I can use them to replace the damaged one that is fitted to a pair of the 12x60s I own. |

Strange thing this. People ask me for details then I never hear from them again. Most likely think these things cost ten bucks to produce or some thing and are then shocked speechless to find out that they don't. two things, (1) these are not cheap, (2) there are no others in existence and no more are going to be made.
