buttons and cups

Okay, somebody has to have these. Where can I get spare brass contacts and plastic cups to make a German foil wire?

Not sure that you can. Most everyone just recycles the ones they already have. Gary Spruill may be able to help.

Well they have to come from SOMEWHERE! LOL What about those of us who are klutzes and break/drop/otherwise mangle or lose the ones we have?

Germany??

And if you're a klutz, can't you just buy a new one? But at any rate, I know that Leon Paul sells the brass contact pins, as well as individual wire and their own plastic cups. Again, those are for their parts. If you're looking for specifically German parts, you should probably try contacting the manufacturer directly... For example, shoot Uhlman, FWF or the manufacturer of your choice, I'm sure they'd send you a bag of them for a pretty reasonable price. At any rate, if you're a klutz, I'd recommend just buying a new wire, as you may be liable to klutz it up again in putting a new one together, if you haven't done it before, good luck!
