Now you need to find an appropriately sized frost plug, and make a pair of dies to crimp in those crystals (after spot welding the frost plug to a metal strap of course).

Default Good man Rob......

I would have never thought of a frost plug Rob, but the more I look at it....you're spot on! We'll do some work on that and show you the finished product when it's done. Cheers and thanks......Robert

Default Yes.....BUT!

Bruce, the way I look at it...if it doesn't exist for years ( based on info from the MLU Forum ) then finding something as close as this, well, where do you put a price on that. They cost me about $20.00 bucks each Canadian delivered and if I can make up a replica of the originals, anyone with the early CMP models benefits. You have a choice of Chandelier or CMP and as our friend Brian Asbury says...."tres uber expensive" and elusive. Again, I have an agreement with the seller on price and to buy any of these units he can find and I would sooner have them on a CMP.
Cheers.....Robert

Default I forgot....

Bruce, just as a foot note, I talked with the owner of the store in Prague and he said that they very very seldom come across the green ones of that size. So as Brian A. said..... they are very elusive! Something is better than nothing.

Cheers....Robert

Default SaY WhaT???

Well Bobb..... that deepends on how muuch you've had to drunk/drink!!!!
The green ones again are "green manufactured crystal". The inside of those prisms are painted with Gold Paint, which I would imagine would be related to reflection. Now the Red Prisms, a separate unit, I would basically say would be the same, as well as being the exact same size as the green ones. According to the entries on the Forum, the Red ones were never used (even though they are a lot cheaper.)
Hop thiss hellps.......Wobert (Joking)
