Electric Bumblebee II
Got my inspiration for this vibrator from our own "dcarch", hence the name. After searching for the parts locally, ebay and at work and a few PM's to dcarch I came up with BB II.
I wanted it so I could remove the extension rod/head from the flashlight body and thats where I got the idea after seeing the antenna w/BNC connector on ebay which I purchased. Was going with the paint brush head but after finding these brushes which came with my inhalers they were easier to attach to the tubing and the shaft diameter was perfect. Found the vibrators through google and cost was $1.50 Each. The cost was no where near dcarch's as BB II cost about $30.00 when finished. The flashlight and BNC antenna contributing to most of the cost. First picture completed unit partially extended. Second picture fully retracted. Third picture extension at 90 Deg. Forth and fifth picture with antenna extension/vibrator head removed and close up of vibrator head. It was a beautiful day here in Germany yesterday so I took a couple pictures outside and one with the sun shining on my rubber plant. Ami
