Looks good. Nicely done.

I'm trying to get my hands on a Graflex myself. I refuse to pay the price they usually go for on Ebay, but I might have a line on one through a local antique dealer. Just waiting for an e-mail.

thanks, i wanted it to be as neat as possible. when i tried fiting the cf into the 1 inch pvc pipe couple and found how well it fit the rest was easy. all wire connections are soldered and shrink wrapped. and all wires are hot glued at the board to help them from comming loose from movement.
both the card holder and resonance chamber are glued to the battery holder as well to make it all just one big unit to go in and out with ease :)
and i must say, im quite satisfied with this setup

I could be wrong, but I think that you and I are the only regular posters from Ontario. If there are any others, shout it out. Maybe we could have a get together.

yeah that sounds pretty cool. I would like to meet more people from our little spec of the world, interested in lightsabers...and we could get together, swap ideas, stories, or whatever

Looks great man!

One question....where is your aux button for the cf? Is it on the bottom like on Erv's Graflex?

Oh...and did you use rivets or screws for the grips?

Thanks and again....nice job!

actualy i havent put in a aux button yet, or screwed in the grips. the resonance camber is almost the full size of the bottom of the handle where the screws need to go, so i havent figured out what im gonna do about it yet lol
