Orbital's Torchspecs

Post by triM »

Ok, here's the deal (And I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I just can't Find em!)

I'm DYING to get myself a pair of the 'torchspecs' that the brothers wore on stage during their live gigs. But I can't find ANYTHING that even remotely resembles them. There's an FAQ on the old forum that mentioned a website, but they don't have anything like them either.

Can anyone reccomend me a place to get them? I would really like to get a hold of some for my own gigs. Not as a ripoff but for functionality, cool factor and an homage to our favorite Hartnoll's (Well they're the only ones I know!).

Thanks!

Try looking on ebay for 'flashlight glasses' - I get a few hits.

Eh, still can't find anything. This is starting to frustrate me. I can usually find anything I can think of on the net. This barely turns up any results. I might have to *gasp* make them myself! OH NO!

PLEASE HELP! :D

Not true... Mine came from the UK, as did Jof's. We got them from the same person, who got them from a shop near where he lives.
