    Sorry, Tom. I don't know where I came up with the 'Steve'. Getting old and stupid, I guess.

Kevin is our man! I really miss Mike Casewell and the service he provided!
      I've PM'd you on this. Obviously concerning if I was rude, and even moreso if you're slandering me and my business here on my own forums. Let's clear this up.

        Yup. Pricey alternatives but may be salvaged from dead printers.

          What printers are those in then?

          Never seen such a pump in any printer, seen peristaltic pumps in Epson inkjet printers, but they weren’t any use for a model sub IMO.

            I don’t know anything about this company, but I found these. Take a look and see what you think.
            Peristaltic pumps including miniature peristaltic and micro peristaltic pumps available from Clark Solutions. Simplify your research needs with accurate and reliable results.

              Though these little gems are positive displacement and reversable, their exceptional low flow rates make them unsuitable.

                  Must be for those industrial large format inkjet printers not the for home use.

                      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                        Looks fine to me. Make sure you fit suppressors unless the control board has them built in.

                          Thank you, that is the plan, if it works.
