Feeler MS speaker and power con.
Hi all
I'm planning a bit on my projects, and it seems that i will need some new speaker and power con For the MS/MPS series, i know this is a hard to get item, so i'm considering/check options and costs by making some new ones.
What is the demand for this parts for our beloved MS/MPS jewels that we have? What types, what color and so on (i'm thinking of the plastic part)

Re: Feeler MS speaker and power con.
Ok. It would be nice to know if there is someone who has looked into this, before i do something more. And i'm not looking into make a lot of money on this, just looking for to break even. (If there is a demand and i go trough with this project of course )

Holla at your boy from do or die Bed Stuy, Eric D! (I don't really think he's from the Brooklyn but the hip hop introduction is cooler).
Re: Feeler MS speaker and power con.
I don't need any personally but itd be nice to get if needed... I'd want factory white or black ones... I'd consider replacing the ones on my Frank for black just for looks!

Re: Feeler MS speaker and power con.
I need a spk term for my ms 2125 if that helps any.
Re: Feeler MS speaker and power con.
Does anyone know how many colors they are in? And does someone have the color code? Is it correct that they are in black, white and a greyish color?

Re: Feeler MS speaker and power con.
Eric was looking into having them made, machining the molds costs pretty big money, they will sell like hotcakes though, that is a fact! They came in stock colors of white and black. If you have the mold then you could do them in any color you want. Stock up on the whites&blacks. I really dont think it would take to long to recoup the cost of making them. Also you would have to have the brass connectors made for the B+ & B- remote+ that go inside the connector shells. Same for the speaker connectors. And they would need to be gold plated to prevent corrosion on the terminals. It is a endevour, but I think it will pay off @ the end.. Id say that they might be sold for 50 for the power and 25 for the speaker terminals..just a rough guess without getting to logistical, since it depends on what it costs you, bottom line to make them. I can fix/repair almost any one of them with drilling anchor holes for the epoxy,lots of sanding, painting. I have in the past and they could almost pass for stock.. Let us know if your going to follow through with it..

Re: Feeler MS speaker and power con.
The story of members that wanted to get them made up really starts to get boring since it never made it past the idea in the last 3 years.
If u can make the mold on your own it will pay off for sure. If u have to get the molds made up u will have to sell at least 125 sets (2 Speaker and 1 Power MS2125) at 100USD to just get the money for the molds back in. Not to mention that these will come without the golden inserts. How many guys do you know that would be willing to buy three pieces of plastic for 100USD plus shipping??? In here u´ll most likely get 25 guys to do so.
Edit: Make it 24 since i still have 2 grey and 2 white sets in storage which i´m most likely going to keep forever.
