robothut Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I just did a repair job for a collector who had a Alps Television Spaceman robot. It needed a head dome also, so he bought one from Uncle Al.s Toys "EBAY". The clear cast part fits perfectly but has a non-smooth surface finish. Sort of like they tied to clear coat it with a spray can. So, what do you think? Are there any repro head dome parts that are better out there these days?

robothut Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Here is the YouTube video of the repair. https://youtu.be/dldHu9x6jkU?si=2b1RAxGJfv2b_nUa What ever changes that have been made to Alphadrome recently do not allow for YouTube links to be displayed as open. Maybe the URL link will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAL Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Second that K-9, and in fact I bought that exact piece for an Alps Television Spaceman I was restoring a while ago. Nim.rod does good work, but it comes at a price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Yes, for the cost Nim.rod does it best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
