Certainly the ones I used were machined, I had a close look at the finish so assume they were Delrin.
Overall they were nice alarms, I prefer a wheel type alarm and liked the simplicity, ok not quite as simple as my ATTs but I do like the 3 simple sensitivity adjustments and the option of silent alarms.

Thanks for that,
It's quite difficult to actually find much info on them so all info much appreciated.

I did ring Steve and asked him if he'd do me a sounder box out of Delrin to match my alarms, he laughed and said not a chance. He said the ones he done were a nightmare and he wouldn't ever try it again. No idea exactly why as the alarms seem to pop up frequently.
There were some 3d printed sounder boxes doing the rounds recently, not for me though.

There seem to be more delrin alarms for sale than std ones!
Are the delrins robust enough for everyday use or more suited to collectors?

Supposidly he only ever made 12 delrin sounder boxes.

Yeah he pointed me to a few possible people who may consider selling, I wasn't that desperate though.

I haven't fished a great deal since I got them but they do seem solid and much better than the originals. I went for the high backs so I don't need to bother with snag ears.

Yes noticed there are high backs and standard backs. Im quite tempted with an all blue set ive just found with blue 3d printed all blue sounder box. £700 is a hell of a lot of money for what they are though. Just bored of my txid's. Ecu compacts also look nice.

Seems crazy to pay extra for alarms because the cases don't crack like the standard ones. Shows the normal Neville are not fit for purpose and despite various updates over the years the cases are still made of cheap brittle plastic.

Sounds like me trying to convince myself of a reason to try them, I did have a set of Bug Eye ECU's along side my ATT's, quite liked them, but never really used all of their functionality, they're loaded with great ideas if you like to tinker with settings and LED colours, but in the end they weren't for me so off they went.

They only crack if you over tighten them when trying to line them up on a buzzer bar.
It is a design that has been around for donkeys years - I thnk they have proven that they are more than fit for purpose.

I'd have to agree with that, even my ATT's get cracks if you over tighten the case screws, but honestly it has never stopped me enjoying or using them, once I followed the instructions and did it correctly the cracking stopped! outside of our small area of interest there are plenty of similar examples to compare.

I got a set of Nev's 2nd hand and they had been over-tightened at the base and the back plates, ended up plastic welding plastic discs to the base of them, and did away with the screws in the back plates replacing them with studs I bonded in, I used tiny Brass Nuts & washers to hold the back plates on.
To totally stop it happening I'd just fit Quick release fittings so you don't have to worry about alignment ever again, I have a set of DSi's that I had from new about 15 years ago – still like brand new, never had to align them once thou.
~ If anyone remembers the Graham Parson Alarms (Nev's are almost the same design as them) They were machined from blocks of Acrylic, not injection moulded, built like tanks!

Did you buy them from Hampshire Tackle? Looks like the only place they are doing them?
