Focustronic bulk replacement parts thread (Mastertronic / Alkatronic / Dosetronic)

I’ll also take a pack when you get more needles in. $28 is highway robbery.

Which is why I went and worked to get custom needles made. I will say they cost a bit more than $0.50 due to needing a custom mold.

Btw, I'm considering sourcing a 18g vent needle. This would prevent the need to replace that needle so often and only requiring the main needle to be replaced. I'm not sure why FT decided to use the same needle size when that second one cannot be cleaned w the machine.

Any update on the next shipment?

Have you gotten a new shipment in?

Hey all, I'm actively working with the supplier now. We've made some small changes and it has to go back and forth a few times. They are quite busy and have faced shortage issues, so like most manufacturing these days, it's going slower than expected. My apologies. I do not have a good ETA as of today.

thanks for the update sir. I appreciate the time and effort you are putting in to this.

how did the first batch work out? Are they performing ok? I’m guessing the small tweaks were to improve something?

I'm pretty sure these are Kamoer pumps - you can buy their pharma pump head tubing in bulk.

I'm not sure what the end tips are called but I wouldn't be surprised if amazon has them. Then it's just a matter of measuring and boom, done. Coralvue want's $10ea for a single replacement tube!

Put me on the needle list please

any update to new needles?

I am trying to find the replacement silicone rubber sheet. I intend to arch punch them for the mastertronic vial top. It doesn’t look like 2mm is available- will 2.5mm work? (They also have 1.5mm)

Erick, have you used these tubes on the ak and if you have, how did they work out. I need to replace all my tubes. Thanks in advance

I’m down for a bulk order as well once things are back up and running!

Also anyone know if these would be a good alternative for replacement or additional vials? The ptfe seems too thick but perhaps replaceable with the sheet from Amazon?
