- I bought a couple of spares when I built my tricorder, but I can't
- find them now. I went to International Technology Sources to buy them,
- however, ITS no longer carries transtators due to problems with
- securing export licenses and the such.

- Probably you'll need to fab your own; this isn't supposed to be
- too hard. Take a look at the Star Fleet Technical Reference, Supplement
- 3A-0005 "Fabrication of Common Transtators In The Field". Fascinating
- explanation of the reverse-flux-time process involved. The only risk
- is that a minor error at one particular step can result in a massive
- "bump" in the space-time fabric, but I didn't have any problems with
- this at all. If you've successfully built a dilithium power generating
- unit before (and who hasn't?), you'll have no trouble whatsoever.
-
- Good Luck!
