Repair parts for Kato EF510-500

[CaptOblivious]

Yay. Today I dropped my Kato EF510-500 in Cassiopeia livery. Like, 6 feet, to the floor. Ouch. The good news is that the damage was surprisingly minimal! I need to order a few replacement parts to replace lost and/or broken bits, but before I do, I wondered (since these parts come in multiples) if anyone here might have any spares to share? Here's what I need:

 

3065-2C3 (front of loco + coupler) (package of two, I need one)

3065-1F (pantograph) (package of two, I need one

Z03M0155 (whistle and antenna) (package of two, I need one)

Z03K0240 (GPS antenna (I think)) (package of twenty, I need one)

For sheer clumsiness, I should confiscate your loco.  I will do so begrudgingly, of course! :P

I suppose in the worst case I could send it off for repairs. Might be cheaper if there was someone in Tokyo or Osaka who would be willing to act as intermediary between me and the Kato store. (Had excellent luck getting a couple of locos repaired at the Osaka shop, despite their claim that parts might not be available, when I was in Japan last.)

Have you checked poppondetta for the parts?

I might be there within a month... could collect them, but that would promote you dropping the train more often if you had 120 GPS antennae.

I've given all my remaining stuff away to Densha (another member). I'm not sure in what you're interested on having, but please contact me over PM and we'll see what we can work out.

 

Also, I'm now trying to live in Japan (still looking for a job), so if you're interested in ordering 2nd hand or semi-rare stuff, I can try and arrange something as well.

 

Worth a try

Your brothers from down under probably have your best leads.

 

Or try shibuyamokei.co.jp found my Kato E3 end car trucks. Fair prices.
