Looks like I can make the vertical and horizontal eyelid plunger
plastic parts. The vertical plastic will be an exact mechanical
replacement; the horizontal plastic will be a substitute part designed
for mechanical equivalence.

They will be precision cut from Delrin or Nylon.

To use these parts, you will need to have the metal parts from the old
plungers, and roll pins (also from the old plungers).

Budgetary pricing is about $4 for the vertical part, and $8 for the
horizontal part.

I've been working on my Funhouse today . I didn't know these parts were NOT
available PLEASE DON'T TELL ME!!

I've brought the Rudy head assymble over here to my apt (My Dad's garage it
just TOO HOT! & HUMID)

I need the plunger (and plastic assembly) for Rudy's eyes to open/close.
Took his head out and before bringing it over here, I had to re-solder a
wire (the red one) going to the motor of the jaw and the wire going to a
solenoid (coil) that operates his look to the left. The plunger for his eyes
Open/Closed has had it.

So , Martin if you could replicate this part, I'll take 2 (one for backup)

This really is great news. Martin. Now I can turn Rudy's blinking back
on and let him blink with impunity! ;P I would like at leat two sets!

Thanks, all. That's enough to get me started. Drawings are out for
formal quote.

It is also possible to make these in brass. It will cost more, but
obviously they won't break. So you would not need spares.

May buy more as time goes on (just to keep Rudy going!)

Yes. The eyelid plungers are all the same for Red, Ted, & Rudy.

I had to get mine from Holland!
