Greetings all,
I recently retrieved all of my vintage Joe figures and vehicles from storage at my parents' house and plan to do some restorations. The first project is to get the figures into shape. I'm going to replace all of the broken/loose o-rings and rusty screws but I have some questions:
Are the o-rings and back & thigh screws standard sizes that I could find at a hardware store?
If not, are there any recommended vendors for those? (I know smalljoes.com sells o-rings. What's the HT consensus of that site? I also see a lot of eBay sellers, but would like some HT expert recommendations.)
I also have one figure with a broken t-bar hook. Are there any reputable vendors for that part? (Same question about eBay sellers.)
Thanks for the assistance!
