Re: Trev Reg

What would a brand new Trevor Designed, Maddox build regulator be worth?

Re: Trev Reg

well trev sold them for £40 if thats a guide

Re: Trev Reg

Then, that explains why nobody else is copying those.

Re: Trev Reg

someone needs to makes some!

Re: Trev Reg

If you can find a firm that is willing to make thos in quantity, you could end up with a suitable pricetag. But for handbuild, commercialy viable Trevor Reg Copies, I'm afraid £40 ain't enough.

The closest equivalent is a paintball regulator, and those have other pricetags.

Re: Trev Reg

Like I said earlier if mario is able to get me some drawings then I will look at making some but I will more than likely be after more than forty quid for time and materials. A custom job will always cost more than a mass produced one

Re: Trev Reg

Don't worry. I'll copy/redesign it with your machine capacity in mind. Any preference in kind of threads? Metric or BSP?

Re: Trev Reg

Thanks for the interest lads. It is true I don't have access to the machinery they were actually made on, so until I get my new lathe fully kitted out, it may be some time before any more are made.

Of the last batch, I have kept 2 for myself, but have 2 more I am prepared to sell.

If you want one of them at £40 just mail me, unfortunately I will be driving to France for 2 weeks from Friday midday, so you will have to be quick or have to wait.

I will check my mails later tonight. You can pay by paypal.

Anyone is welcome to the drawings and the springs are easily accessible.

I had quotes for machining them professionally but I would have to sell them at £100 just to break even. It is not a profit led activity.

Regulator? Lowers the CO2 pressure from the bottle to the buffer tank/rams.

Re: Trev Reg

First of all, Trevor, I want to appologise about talking to copy your regulator without consulting you.

That solves a bit of work then for me.

Even £40 is barely on the treshold of break even, then you're not counting in the wear and tear on the cutters nor the other small costs assorted with operating a lathe.

Re: Trev Reg

Used to mill them on the spare cnc mill when I had long cuts so cost of tooling was nothing. Price went up to £40 when I had to start buying my own metal

Got a desk job now and the spare mill was sold - I was the only person who could programme it - so if I make any more the price will have to go up again

if anyone wants the plans just message me and I will mail you the pdf's when I get back off holiday.
