Survey: Alternate source for lenses? - 12/08/2003 09:31

A few months back, I was investigating how to get a lens laser etched for one of 303's fascias. I'm still trying to find neon material for that but the search has led to a source for laser cut lenses that cost $5-6/lens.

These are flat lenses similar to the original Empeg lens. The colors are gray (smoke), dark gray, bronze, green, and red. Other colors are possible but suppliers for the material seem to be scarce.

Is anyone interested in these? If so, what color(s) would you be interested in?

Bronze? Is it semi-mirrored or something?
I may be interested in one or two of the other colours. I was going to get one off DarkStorm but never got around to it.

No it's a brownish color...similar to in color to plastic you'd see in sunglasses. I'll see if I can get a picture.

I'd be interested in a couple of MKII with the standard face lenses smoke or dark green. I currently have a clear lense with a green gel filter that looks like crap since it's got air bubbles in between the lens and the filter and am getting tired of looking at it.

I'd be interested in just a rectangular chunk of the smoked and red to put in front of my external VFD...

Shouldn't be a problem. Do you have dimensions?

19x6cm (or 7.5x2.5in), I'll trim it down to fit from there; Do you want to email me off the forum to take care of the details? vincent@applesolutions.com

Thanks.
