I am getting a 3 cell heiland in a couple of days and would like it to look as original as can bee so need some help and advice on converting it. This will be my first attempt at this and don't want to mess it up. I would like to eventually have sound and detachable blade. Any help would be appreciated.

You just need to ask Tim to lathe down a standard blade holder to the correct diameter. No biggie, he's done it a few times that I know of.

Detachable blade is standard on EL and LED... nothing to bother about there. There isn't a problem with fitting sound in it either. MR guts fit in there just fine.

I think switch placement is the only real issue. I'd fit a standard one in the bulb release spot.

Tim has two-steps for sale... do you mean a one-step version?

If you don't know the difference it shouldn't matter.
