Our good buddy and resident Topre Enthusiast Tp4Tissue has assured us that Silencing Rings can be made for MUCH cheaper!
Quote from: tp4tissue on Fri, 28 April 2017, 12:12:23 Guys.. I know you want to silence your hhkbs and do topre conversions..
But you should not support Hypersphere , because they are criminals at charging you guys $60 for something worth 50 cents.
For example
This set of orings off ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-50x-Rubber-O-Ring-Assorted-Sizes-Set-Kit-For-Plumbing-Tap-Seal-Sink-Thread-/371823991832?hash=item56926fdc18:g:AHIAAOSwJ7RYYJT3
Costs $1.66.. One dollar and sixty six cents
That is a profit price, meaning it costs less than $1.66 to make 50 orings..
Hyperspheres are not super duper Orings, there’s nothing super special about the material, or production cost.
Yet they are charging you guys $60..
How much are hyperspheres people getting them for.. Most likely less than $0.10 for 1000..
How are you guys NOT angry about this.. ??
Maybe if we drum up enough interest, we can get TP4 to make some sets for us!
