BTW , anyone interested in getting their old clocks going again , you can get replacement mechanisms for them . Most clock repair shops can get them . You just have to match the shaft style so it will fit the original dials . Cost about 10 bucks.

Still looking for a place to repair the thermometers .

What's left--7/16/07

Two sets of windows. First are the three lower "eyebrow" (what are these called?) windows out of the Sovereign. They include the three metal trim pieces. See note below regarding the "C" clip. These windows are flat. They didn't seem to leak, but the solar film inside is crazed.

The other set are Vista Views, two from the Sovereign and one from the Overlander. These windows are curved. (The short one from the Overlander, as well as the two lower windows, will be available later this year.) As you can see, they are discolored. I can't tell if it's just the solar film, or maybe one of the layers is plexiglass and that's what has turned brown. One thing to note is that the construction of the older and newer Vista Views is different. The older window has a "C" clip that retains the inner plexiglass. This clip is relatively easy to remove so that the window can be cleaned/resealed. To open the newer windows, you have to drill out two small rivets on edge side (at the seams, one in the middle of each long side, that can be seen in the photo). The three "eyebrow" windows above also have this clip.

I have the three rubber "gromets" that go around the skin cutout for the Vista Views, also included in offer (not pictured). They're in good shape.

I just wanted to say KUDOS to Zep for this effort. I benefited from this generous action with something so simple as thin plastic wood veneer. Junk to some but gold to a vintage nut.

Stuff like this is what makes this Forum a great place.

Hi Zep, I am also in need of a window. The one I need is flat, and roughly 30x9. Looking to put it in a 1970 sovereign.
Thanks,
Greg

Sink and countertop

Anyone need the sink/countertop from a mid-bath unit? This is 39-1/4" long and about 15-3/4" wide (width varies, as you can see from the photo). I have all the edge trim and support pieces, but none of the tape inserts for the trim (the strip that conceals the rivet heads in the trim pieces).

The only defect is that both rear corners have a small crack.

I'm wondering if the clock and thermometer are still available?

Thanks

exterior trim

I don't know if you are letting go any of the exterior trim, but if you are I need a piece. You can find a picture of the piece i need here

Thanks

No, no exterior parts. I've had a few pieces of trim fall off, too, and I like the exterior to be as original as possible. I do get rid of a vent now and then, or maybe a TV antenna, but that's all. I'm contemplating converting the scare lights to some kind of down light, but that's in the future.

Closet and pantry doors

The 3 closet doors are all identical width, 20-5/8". Two of them need some corner screws to tighten up the metal edges, but are in good shape. The third is good for edges and maybe skin, only. It's missing the bottom edge piece.

The two pantry doors are in good shape, but also need some corner screws. They are 13" wide.

All five doors have the full length piano hinge.

Four of the latches are operable. If the doors don't get scarfed up as a whole unit, the latches are available. PM me.

I really don't want to pack and ship these. If you need a whole door, plan on picking it (them) up.
