    Default Parks Quinlan Vos conversion

    Here is another project I have been working on. It started life as a Parks EL Quinlan Vos saber. I retrofitted it with a P4 green, MR sound, and a pommel mounted recharge port. The red button is the activation button, just like on the original. 3/4" blade.

    Stats:
    MR Vader sound
    Lighthound PCB for momentary activation
    Li Ion 14670 parallel pack, 2200mAh
    Hidden pommel mounted charge port
    3/4" blade
    P4 Green



    Here is the charge port. The stock pommel 'cap' hides it from view. It is inset so a kill key can be inserted. The sound vents are also here. I enlarged the slots that were on the saber by default from Parks. I tried to preserve the original look of the saber as it came from Parks, and this is the only exterior change to the hilt.

    Realy like how the charge port is hidden very clean.

    Why can't Parks see how cool his hilts can be, and get with the newer tech. I bet his sales would triple if he used Luxeons and Sound boards. Oh well...

    I love how you hid the recharge port in the pommel, very interesting.

    Very nice LM. Some of those Parks sabers can be a real pain to convert and put sound in. Great job on all the sabers in the video.
