A while back I need a new tubes for one of the toys , a very old toy
and none available , on speaking to a local machine shop I found an
existing tube stock could be made to fit in a lathe with some machining
, only problem was getting hard chrome when sorted and it was affordable
I am surprised no one suggested this avenue .

Thanks Big. Good to know that they've helped you. That doesn't
necessarily mean they've responded to me though, does it ?
Thanks for the kind words

Thanks Atec but hey, if I'm not an expert with 0 experience in such a
thing and my first time in said situation, I'm apparently stupid or
something. Next time I know a place to look, that's a start.
When I initially posted, a simple 'try metro spares in sydney' woulda
been good.

If anyone's going to boil it down it's you, Nev. Ta. However I get the
feeling you're a little wrong on the last sentence.

Well we all start somewhere.. and there are a couple of persons in
here who feel rather huge about these things...
Making a new one is often surprisingly cheap but these days doing so
or even finding a part that might fit let alone one that actually fits
can be challenging ...
Maybe just swapping to another front end might have been an option , if
nothing else the problems with parts highlight lack of certain things
with this brand and might even be relevant to many others ?
