Tamer!! Good job finding all of those auctions. Looks like everyone is ditching there vintage SW stuff. That will keep prices lower for us.
I seen what that one you were bidding on got up to, last night. Ouch! That's a little high IMO. Sometimes a single needed part will go for more than a lot containing the same part. That just shows how narrow some peoples views are.
Remember, there is still this one auction,
here where the seller says that the tabs in the swivel part of the gun are broke. I am assuming this means the up and down action of the gun and that worries me a bit. Otherwise, that auction would be fine. I am curious about the round protrusion sticking up from the floor that the chair mount sits and spins on. It could be fabricated easily enough but it might be nice to have that floor just to salvage that part to intigrate into our walker's flat-bed gundeck. That being said, let's look at your list.
The red auction will work as it's gun barrel is broken where I was to fab a different barrel, anyway plus it comes with the floor and another chair mount. It's not a complete set so It might go for a decent price. I would think that this auction would be our third one of interest depending on If you want me to have that floor.
The purple auction would work as the gun barrel is broken in the same place but it doesnt come with the floor.
The yellow auction would work as it has a complete gun, floor , and another chair mount. this one is pretty enough that it will go for a high price.
The orange auction has the parts that we need, gun,floor, and another chair, but is an incomplete set, so it might go for cheaper. This is the one I want you to concentrate on.
The blue one is far too pretty to mess with and will go for higher than the rest of them. It does have all of the parts we need.
Im thinking that you should concentrate on the orange one and the purple one with red coming in third. They will go for the cheapest and If you get the purple, we can scratchbuild a peg for that chair mount to snap into and spin upon. If you get the orange, or want to splurge a bit more on the red,we won't have to worry about it.
We will get that gun, buddy.
