PGHtrooper21 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 http://www.hengstler.com/en/products/shop.php?catID=1004&cat=Counter I found this while searching on the Hengstler.com website. If you scroll down to the bottom the counter is "478 plug in type counter. It looks like the one that is used for the E11. I do not know if anyone has tried this route before. I will keep you posted. I sent email to "Hengstler" to see how to go about getting a 478 plung in type counter. Here is the specs data link http://www.hengstler.com/gfx/file/shop/counter/counter_typ478_en.pdf Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGHtrooper21 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Great find, Keep us posted on the info. Thanks! I am about to get a quote for the counters. Were the counters 6 or 7 digits? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turrican Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Screen accurate are 6 digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHavoc Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 amazing the company still exists!!! That boggles my mind let alone using the same design. I found a couple antique counters, 1 with the eagles at a scrap electronics store. Still it's awesome to see the company still exists.

PGHtrooper21 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Screen accurate are 6 digits. Thanks! The representative is asking me for the part number there are apperently 14 different model numbers according to the specs. I have to use a guess because I do not know the voltage? If any one has a real one is the voltage on it ora a part number. Because the representative is going to give me a quote? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy The voltage and frequency side to things should not make a difference, as we don't intend to ever plug these into power. The external appearance should be the same on all the 6 digit counters, the only difference will be internal. For the sake of argument, I am guessing that if the parts they used on the original blasters came from the UK, then they would be 220V 60Hz (I believe the UK uses 60Hz for their power supply), so the part number could be 0478 106.

Obievon[501st] Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Don't forget the other challenge, the EAGLE logo on the side. There is probably a good chance that wont be there. But to have a real counter would be a big advantage. Keep us informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DalekBill Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Having a look at the link, there is another counter, type 864 on this page that also looks ok but is already black. If you look at the technical data, there is one with a small face that has a spring attachment. The spring bit could be removed and would make for a pretty close match. Part number 0 864 465.

DalekBill Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) I just got a quote back from them and it would cost $190 plus $25 postage for the 0 864 465 As it isn't really that close to the screen used item, I think I will pass.

Billhag Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hengstler up until recently used to supply the 400 series of which the Types 464-468 were very close to the originals (Minus the Eagle logo of course ) Here's the spec sheet counter_typ464_468_en.pdf You can still pick up plastic cased non eagle original type for around £20-£50, you just have to hunt them down The last time that I managed to get my hands on a few I only paid between £15-£20 and the 20 units that I had flew out the door to all my chums Hunt around and you'll be supprised what you can come up with Ohh, and although the most common used counter in the films was a 6 digit model, they also used the 4 digit version as well which looked exactly the same (but with two digits missing of course ) once it was painted black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_LEPER Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Type 478 looks pretty close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john danter Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Yeah I purchased some of these a few years back. cool cos it's solid functioning unit made by the same company, but that eagle logo no longer lives on ther at all. Plus they're now plastic, not sure but I thought the original cases were metal....? But yeah, very cool to slap one on a blaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck....!? I paid about £25 a pop for mine. I've learned if you ever tell anyone I want one of these cos they were used in the SW films, they suddently add a zero Try rswww.com maybe?
