Phone Dial Design Project - Modern 18" 3-piece forged (Kickstarter launched, see post
Starting with a 16" Phonedial (Thanks Tass!), going to model in CAD, then possibly develop into an 17"/18" w/modern offsets.
Unless someone has $100K floating around, this will most likely be a short-run or "as needed" one-off type project.
*****Design in final stage, nearing release for prototype*******
928 Classics is pleased and excited to launch on Kickstarter, Project Dial - Reviving a Classic!
Due to the excellent response and support from our 928 community as seen here,
the Project Phone Dial team is ready to move forward into wheel testing and pilot-production.
This is where you and Kickstarter come together with us to help launch into this next stage of the Project!
We ask that you review the project and the rewards... see what interests you.
I'm pleased to answer any questions you may have, either on RL or Kickstarter.
Also, feel free to email me at jim@928classics.com
Lets make these modern Phone Dials a reality! Thanks for your continued support!

Yea, all I really need is a complete front quadrant (none of the back part of the rim).
So, if you have a spare phonie, and are handy with a sawzall....

Jim,
How soon do you need it and for how long. Sometime early in the new year I want to drive up there and visit Charlie. Is it something you can get done during a visit?
Thanks,

Frank,
Sooner the better, but to determined plan at this point.
Need it for a month or two.
I can drive it back to you when finished.

Erik,
Too soon to tell. Ideally, 18's. But I'm not sure if the design can be "stretched" or "scaled" that much and still stay true to original form. We'll see.
I can tell you this much, unless I find a serious investor, the wheels will cost some serious coin. And I won't make a dime (not that I'm trying to anyway). Just havin' fun right now.
I'll update this thread whe the project gain some traction.

So then next question is....
Does anyone have access to a 3D scanner?
If so, would you be interested in scanning a portion of a phonedial wheel?
It's not 100% necessary, but would save me a ton of time and ensure a higher level of accuracy.

UPDATE: Found 3D scan, looking for DFW local phonie to borrow
This nice fella, Josh has offered up his skills and services to do the scanning!
I can't tell you how appreciative of this... thanks man!!
Josh is located in the DFW area. Any of you guys have a phonie he could borrow??
Let me know, thanks!

Roger, Thanks!
I'll ask Josh to make contact with you to see if your timing works.
He's probably reading this...
You guys are AWESOME!
