Did Mitzi Not come with the Original Mac Valve? Since you need a Hose for every movement

Will Russell did not include them. I was angry when I did not receive them. It costs like $300 to get new ones.

You'll want to repair her mask before you put air on her or it will tear. I posted instruction on latex repair a few months back.

The mask may be 12 years old but it is fine, It won't break, It's gone through a lot. I'll get a new mask soon.

eBay. Do a search for valve bank and pneumatic solenoid manifold and you will find a lot of results.

If your controller and solenoids are wired directly (instead of a specialized connector on the valve bank), you don't need to have all the valves on one block. So instead of say a single bank with 24 valves you could get two with 12, three with 6 or so on. You just have to make sure they all have the same power requirements.

I'd say any brand would be good enough for hobby use. Valve reliability is rated in the number of open/close cycles the valve can handle. Many have expected lifespans over a billion cycles. Unless you're running her all day, every day for years they should last a lifetime. I'm sure the bank that came with Chuck has the original valves on it, and they are at least 35 years old and ran 8-12 hours a day almost every day of the year for 20+ years.

If you were to really want a Rolfe like I did, I would just remove the Ears, and put Rolfe cosmetics on it. That would be cool!

Yeah, he's waaay bigger than Mitzi. They've got the same size butt though LOL.

Mitzi's ears have snaps on the back of them. You can use a flat head screw driver to undo them or unstick the latex from the ear levers of its melted on.

That's not true! We do care! Sorry, I had been busy moving back into college. It's still great you have the mac valves! I also picked some up too! I was going to use the ardunio to run my mac valves too! Remember you will need an amplifier.

The ardunio uses 5V, we will need to buy a board that boosts the output voltage from 5V to 24V or depending on the solenoid you used.

Thank you! Once I have Mitzi running I'll tell you how to get the mech I sold you running!
