Hopefully you get a better response than I did about the nicks and scratches on mine!

My washer cylinder should be here any day I hope it works correctly.

Have you tried Sloyd or any of the other sites mentioned on here? I think I saw them available through one of them.

Whilst Sloyd is undoubtedly a brilliant shop, it would still be cheaper and quicker to order any of Wil's puzzles directly from Wil himself.

79 Euro for either one of the cylinders from Sloyd. Than sounds better than the amount in USD.
Still even better to ask Wil himself though.
