if you can find someone with one they will want a lot of money for it, and normally it's a BTTF geek that will have it and will hold it to ransom. unfortunately they are no longer made, they stopped making them back in the 50s / 60s. I also got from the BTTF forums that the relays that are used are Torr laboratories TRV-1 Vacuum relays. using these photos I could work out the diameters of the relays and other parts and positions.

I bought my enclosure secondhand on ebay, they are expensive new.Д«ecause I knew the enclosure was a J1210HPL, I could download the PDF specs (attached to this page) and get the sizes and use these to scale some screen grabs from the film to the correct size. both of these issues will need to be dealt with. they have also stopped making the color that is used in the film. but they stopped making it with a window but they still make it without a window. I did a lot of research 10 years ago on parts of the flux capacitor, BTTF forums and prop making pages, and discovered back then that the enclosure was a Stahlin J1210HPL but one with a window.

Wav sample converter - free wav file converter Sd card reader, I picked one up in a pound shop that works well.ДЄdobe Illustrator (for researching the sizes of things from screen grabs of the film) Stahlin J1210HPL enclosure - the one on the film has a window but Stahlin have not made one with a window for years so you have to buy the one without the window and put your own window in.Д¬lear Acrylic sheet, 250mm x 200mm x 3mm - this is for the window.ДЈmm thick plastic sheet, grey for the back board.ДЎ meter of rubber window gasket - I used one with 3mm gap, 5mm gap A and B and 5mm web (see picture)ДЄccel 3009 yellow spark plug leads with orange ends, they have to be the 3009 to have the bend in them.Дў0mm clear Acrylic balls, I had a hard time finding these you can get them hereДўmm thick stainless steel wire, I used a coat hanger, you could use music wire.Дў0cm Jumper Wires, female both ends and some male both endsДЎ x 5w speaker, no thicker than 30 - 35mm so it will fit under the back board.ДЄ medium project box, no thicker than 30mmДЈD printer, not really required but it was easier for me to use this, you could make the bases out of clay or something then cast them in resinДymo label maker with red tape, 9mm wide. Near enough everything I got on ebay, I love ebay. In this instance its best to replicate the relay as best as possible. Some of the parts are very hard to get hold of such as the Torr Vacuum relays (TRV-1 high voltage relay) if you can find them they sell for serious money, often sold by Back To The Future prop geeks for ridiculous prices.

The idea was to create a flux capacitor that was as close to the film as I could get, and at some point I want to put it in a Delorean. I decided to come back to it with my now improved skills and technology, and this time I have something awesome!! So about 10 years back I decided I wanted to build a flux capacitor, but I got stuck back then because I didn't have the correct skills at that time and I was making a mess of it, so I shelved the project. I watched it at the cinema over and over, I was very lucky that my great uncle was a projectionist so I could just sit in show after show. Since the release of the film back in the 80s I have been obsessed by the film Back To The Future watching the trilogy repeatedly.
