Reproduction DUO card doors now avalible!
« on: February 22, 2015, 12:55:06 PM »
Could I have taken any longer to get this done? Man, I need to pick up the pace. Anyway I finally got off my ass and finished up the first batch of DUO card doors.  They are about as close fit and finish as I could possible hope and they should look better than the missing one that is currently on your DUO.  I have FIVE, count 'em, FIVE finished ones and five more that are being dyed as we speak? I can make as many as people want and if this first batch sells well I will stock them for the foreseeable future. How much are they? Welllllll, they are $19.75 plus shipping.  How much is shipping? Welllll, it is $5.25 in the US and who know elsewhere. Pics or it did not happen:







Here is the door installed on a DUO (thanks Groover)

Also, I will do special requests.  If you want a unique message on the lid, the zig-zag omitted, or something else just let me know.  As long as it's not something crazy it will only be a few bucks more but there will be about a three week lead time to get it printed.

Really cool, thanks for all your hard work on this jello.  My duo is OK for now, but I know where to go if I ever need a replacement :).

Just received two in the mail. They look great. Not quite as nice as the originals but definitely a pretty close match. I'm am pleased.

I can send it first class rather than priority mail and it would be much, much cheaper; it would just take longer to get there.  I'll get a price quote and send you a PM.

I'll post some pics when I get home from work later tonight. the color matches up perfect on most duo but some not quite so much do to the body color darkening over time.

So systems that still have good color will match up nicely.

I did notice that that back end of the cover that is nearest the center of the duo touches a little more than the originals when openeing and closing but it's really not that big of a deal.

The color match is something that I knew that would never be perfect simply because of the age of these systems.  I did try and get it as close as I could though.  Take a pick of the area you feel like it too close.  I can use that info to modify the model for the next batch.
