Making reel strips

Postby Oldgoat01 » Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:38 am

I have a Rockola Hold and Draw with extremely faded reel strips. It does not appear that anyone has reproduction reel strips, so I am left with finding someone who will make them or make them myself. It seems like making them would not be too difficult, but I have no idea if that is the case. Does anyone have words of wisdom if I go down the path of trying to make them myself including process, materials, etc. Of course, if you know someone that has these available, that would be great as well.
Thanks

These guys claim to be able to reproduce almost any reels strips. I purchased a set of their "stock" Mills strips and they were good quality.

Is anyone picking up the legacy of Bill Whelan?
He had parts, strips, and a wealth of valuable historical information; hope it's not lost to the hobby and someone will be a good steward of his memory.
