Want To Buy

I’m not sure if @Battlesmurf has this reproed.

You would simply email OVS@taito.co.jp asking to buy it. It will cost a lot and shipping will cost a lot so would only recommend if you need to buy a bunch of other stuff that you can’t find locally or really want brand new.

I can reproduce this easy enough- but as others are saying- pretty sure Taito stocks them. It would benefit a bunch of you fellas to get together and get all the parts you need- get one package from japan and ship a bunch of them out when it lands stateside. They take wire transfer.
I’m traveling right now, but if someone in the US were to do a group order, put me down for one.
Back from my travels (went to see Rifftrax live) and got the following information from Taito.
So, $42.87 USD per unit with $58.33 shipping and a minimum order of $72.91 by my calculations (someone check my math). Forty three dollars is a lot for a small bit of metal... and would need to get at least two of them to meet the minimum order. So what do we all think?

Yes, that is completely accurate; hence, only buy from taito if you cannot get it elsewhere.
To add to this, I had an 'S' shaped cam in my lock picking miscellaneous pile that works fairly well. I have no specs on it, but I bet we could figure out a place to get some more...

I might have some of the above- if the fella above can take some measurements, I can compare to make sure and you fellas can DM me to grab one. Seems like the quickest, cheaper option.
Alternatively, I can fabricate- but they're likely to be a similar price to the Taito (30-50 ea) just based on the time it'll take- but I think I can simplify the design a little for time/cost so who knows.
Thanks!

I can try to do some measurements this weekend. I do now have original locks, but am still using a makeshift cam.
I’ve got some good digital calipers I’ll use.
OK, here's what I have.
The 'S' cam is about 50mm in length and 19mm wide with a 7mm 'S' curve mid way through it.
The lock is about 17.5mm in depth. This is a standard LY-1153 lock as would originally be on the hardware.
No washers or other spacers outside of the cam lock are used.

So I have 2 exactly like this. I can also reproduce the original. DM if anybody needs these bits!The 'S' cam is about 50mm in length and 19mm wide with a 7mm 'S' curve mid way through it.
