Wanted DESW R2D2 spares

[Monty]

Hi all, I finally tracked down a decent DESW for reasonable money from an old fashioned bricks and mortar auction room.

Unfortunately, R2D2's head doesn't spin and when I took his head off I found that the motor, cam wheel and linkage were missing. Would love to get the little droid fully working. Anyone got any of these parts they want to sell?

I had a motor from Phil around £70, Im sure you could make the linkage or 3d print it

Thanks, I saw those motors and was a little surprised by the cost but then it is a business that needs to make profit, and it appears to be a rare part. That's my fall back solution if I can't solve this for less money. Happy making the other parts but would like to make this as original as possible.
