Here's some pics of R2 ,

I found everything except the foot motor channels that go into the foot shells.

The original foot Kelly Krider aluminum foot shells are gone so I'm including a set of resin feet Brenda use to make for the group. You'll have to make the aluminum channels to fit these feet.

I have some more goodies to go with him as I find them, Like the rest of the periscope.

The periscope lifter is a old style but it does work I just never got it installed.

The aluminum ring is the bottom ring. I had Jerry Greene make this for me and it's the last main part of the body, The rest of the A&A frame is just for closing in the door pockets as they do open to show the computer arm, data panel, charge port which does charge the batteries for the lights and sound.

The charge port inside the rear door is for the foot motors, I had 2 chargers with xlr plugs.

I could charge the lights and feet separate so that while setting at a show the lights wouldn't kill the foot batteries. I no longer have any batteries.

One of the foot panels does have a chip and the back door where the tape is located needs repair. The droid needs to be torn down and rebuilt but everything is ready.

All the lights work on the dome and body except the flashing red light panel on the side of the dome. It needs a wire soldered, But it does flash red and shows pics. One of the Dave Everette small logics need a diode replaced as I wired the polarity backwards many years ago. Dave said its a easy fix.

If there's any other questions, Just ask but Ill probably ask you to refer back to the blog as I have bad memory problems now.

Thanks

The hunt is on!!!

 Spent all-day today finding all of R2 parts.

Found everything except the outter feet. They're somewhere but where?

I'll start again tomorrow and find them. After 5 years of him being put away makes it hard to find something but I'll get it.
