I'm trying to restore a Captain Power Power Base but I'm hitting a bit of a snag. When I got mine, the fool who sent it, sent it in just the toy's box and wrapping paper, so as you can imagine,the turret got snashed in transit. I managed to source another turret, but the person I bought it from cut the wires rather than unplugging the 8-pin header from the board, meaning I need to rebuild it.
I can source an 8-pin header locally, but the standard seems to have changed since the 1980s and now those headers are done in white rather than brown. Yes I could go with a white 8-pin header, but I want to do an authentic restoration of the playset. Does anyone know of someone who sells either 40 year old electronic components or repros of them, who might have 8-pin headers in brown? |

Maaan. I had to find some large size nixie tubes for a Ghostbusters video game proton pack. I ended up getting them from greece. Hatlights for the same thing from france.
The best thing you can do is start with google first you may find an old electric supply warehouse. The next thing is search eBay worldwide. Before all that though is you can join the captain power Facebook group and pages and see if anyone has one in parts they're selling parts to. |
