Default MK Retracts

Anyone know of a source for a set of MK retracts (tri-gear)?
I've been searching eBay for months without any success.

Thanks,
grim

I’ve used Spring Air retracts during new builds to replace the specified MK retracts and the Spring Air’s fit nicely in the space. A lot nicer to work with than the MKs too.

Mk Retracts are difficult to find, but they do show up from time to time. I wish I had enough extra sets to help you out but don't. If you want to stay with a mechanical retract, I would suggest going with Dave Browns/Southern R/C. They are very good quality, are available today, and hold up very well. I use both types and when my MKs run out, then I'll be buying Dave Browns. The other guys suggestions of Spring Airs are also good since they are good quality and much easier to install. I don't have a link for Dave Brown's handy but just google it and I'm sure it will show up.

or even better than suggesting that i be succinct you could see it for what it is: a hint that for high enough offer i might sell. i don't mind criticism but i don't see where being more succinct applies to 2 sentences.

dhal22, I hope you read tongue in cheek humor, not negative criticism. Heck, for that matter, I have a couple of Atlanta 60s and a T2A MKII that for the right price could find a new home.

Which model of the Spring Air 's do you use? I'm new at this stuff and need my hand held a little!
Thanks,
