Tooting Bec Castle
Minarets
What can I say?  I love minarets.  They really give a "Fairy Tale" feeling to a castle, so I obviously wanted some for Tooting Bec.  Unfortunately, trying to cut paper-towel rolls accurately is proving very difficult, and with the cardboard minarets I'm stuck for a way to taper them at the bottom.

However, I lucked out!  I found these toner cartridges that are made by Brother Corp. which provide the perfect tapered Minaret (after a lot of cutting, gnashing of teeth, and cleaning gunky black toner out of them. Blech!)  Sadly, I need 4 and I only have 3, and the first one was botched a bit in the cutting process.

I NEED YOUR HELP!!!


The cartridge is a Brother TN-5000PF toner bottle for their Intellifax series.  I get these from my office.  The reason I have 3 is that I've been saving them for an eldar scenic project that never materialized, but we only have one fax and it's dammnably efficient, so it takes a long time to get hold of them.  But YOU can help!  If any of you out there in Web-land use a Brother brand Fax, check your toner! :)  I would be thrilled if ANYBODY can help out by sending me one of these cartridges (empty, used ones only, please!  I hate toner!) I will repay you the shipping, as long as it's not coming FEDEX from Sri Lanka or anything.  I could really use 2-3 more, in case I botch another one!

If you can send me one,
e-mail me here.  Be sure to put "Fax Toner Bottle" in the subject line, please.  Here is a pic of the box to help you identify the right cartridge.
