Subject: [alt-beam] Re: pager motor


solarbotics (www.solarbotics.com) has all the parts you need, i
suggest you buy alot of parts at once so you save on postage. There
pager motors are a little expensive, try ringing up your local pager
company and asking them for any broken pagers with motors in them,
they are usaully quite nice and they will supply you with some, just be
polite. Everyone keeps winging about solarbotics postage, i recieved
my order in just over a week to *Australia* for $6. I sugest everyone
buys some of that spring tubing, its cool stuff, bend and tie into a
bow and it'll pop back into shape perfectly.
