i thought a bit about selling these and then i had a clutch peaking / calibration losing problem and had to figure that out [a snapped wire twas the culprit], but:

$150 AU

i plan to post pictures and measurements and instructions for making them yourself on my website http://diversion.deadbored.net/

i'm interested in refining the design, and things i'm thinking of incorporating are a different sort of potentiometer with a different-shaped shaft, and thus a simpler pedal mounting, and maybe making the pedals out of aluminium, and MAYBE even a button box.



HOWEVER



if you fine, handsome and discerning potential customers really want me to make you a set, hand-crafted in the best and most fragrant wood, aluminium and steel, signed and dated and editioned and with a drawing of a kangaroo, i will of course.

but i think i should have a yarn to leo bodnar if he'll accomodate me, because this might generate sales of his little black boxes of goodness, and he knows exactly how to go about selling things in a honest and effective way.

thanks for your comments and interest

Briliant design, I love it

oh thats right you're in australia

um, pricing. its early days, i havent exactly come up with a business plan.. but im thinking maybe charging a flat rate plus shipping to wherever in the world carmen sandiego is.
