Original Post

I had my VB proudly exhibited in a well lighted stand. The stand was a bit TOO lighted. It was a halogen bulb, pretty near the top of the VB. Eventually, the heat of the halogen bulb had it’s toll on the top IPD button, partially melting it. The rest of the VB casing is still beautiful!

I’m looking for someone who could help me finding back an IPD button to bring back my precious VB back to it’s beautiful shape!

Thanks for the help guys!

You can email me to bergeron_guillaume@hotmail.com
as i’m not coming by here pretty often!

Thanks!!

In 2016, you made this same posting… I wish you the best of luck.

Only thing I can think of is buying a “for parts” VB. I think they can go for ~$60-$80 sometimes on ebay? That would be just the head only – usually no visor or stand.

Yes I did. Had found someone but he eventually stopped answering my emails. Contacted him lately to learnt that he moved to new country and lost his parts 🙁
However, I may have found someone willing to help!

Thanks a lot for the support hehe 🙂

Well, I would greatly prefer avoiding to buy a complete head unit only for the top button. I’ll end up with a whole lot of spare parts and I’m mentally unable to throw away any video game related stuff.

I’ve done it! Found what I was looking for, the IPD selector only!

Huge Thanks to user : ziggaboogi

Who provided me with the part for the shipping price only! What a nice guy ! 🙂
