If you've ever had any LEGO space sets, you probably run across these lever / antenna looking things. According the info that I can find, LEGO has been making them since at least 1985 and they are pretty much a stable of space sets since that time.
Which makes perfect sense for them to be included in the Ultimate Collector's Series Millennium Falcon. The trouble for me are that the "light stone grey tops on light stone grey base" version of this part is comparatively rare and that the largest source of them is the UCS Millennium Falcon itself. It has 60 of the little buggers.
They are currently selling for ~$3.50 on Bricklink. Even the old gray color from pre-2004 are averaging about $1 apiece. Since they are rare and I need so many, this one part is quickly becoming one of the more expensive line items on the rebuild.
Happily, a few folks that know what I am up to have offered a helping hand. Above are a trio that +Sean Dilda traded me for the comparatively more common "black tops on light stone grey base" version. This is the second batch of these that he's found for me making a total of 7. That's over 10 percent of the way there (and about $25 cheaper of build)!
