Ronan, are you using the 2010 Hasbro saber with DVD? I'm looking at my Obi-Wan right now and it's got a momentary switch.

That is very good to read!
I really don't know. I learned, that the saber uses 3v battery - CR123. But I don't know how many are used and whether parallel or series-connected !?
Can you give me a advice?
Thanks

Hi,
can anyone identify this sound module ?
I guy with nick "alter289" has obviously add a sound board to a park saber.
Is this one a ready-made sound module, I mean ready to use, plug-and-play item?
Thx
SB
You are right it uses (2) CR123 in series. 6V and takes up most of the space. This is why the saber must be converted. 6V CR123's do not provide adequate amperage to run a SB for any legit amount of time. I said it is easily convertible, but what i meant is that it is easily convertible for someone who professionally converts sabers. This will be a challenge for you if it is your first conversion, but just know that it is definitely possible.
That is a custom machined sound module. THat fellow must have either made it himself or had it made. Those pictures are pretty old too, but they don't show the soundboard at all and they are of an old Parks EL saber.

Corbin_Das: If I got a tattoo below my waist, it'd say "Found someone you have I would say, hmmmm?"
What could be the better option for a battery pack with 6 volt, smaller and more ampere? What is the recommendation, I mean the reference from you experts?
Can I use the (small?) Hasbro 2010 (DVD) Sound board (get it out from the toy saber) beacause it uses 6v (4 x 1.5 AAA) ?
Is there a smaller sb that can be used?
I really really like to take the challange and check my skills...!?
Thanks you for your help!

That actually looks like an old Lightech Industries sound module that is no longer being made. It has a threaded piece added to it.
These sound modules are completely self-contained, they have their own power source. But you had to turn it on separately, though someone could probably make it work with a single switch for both it and an LED lightsaber.
These sound modules were made for the older tech EL sabers, so they couldn't run on the 9V batteries that EL sabers used. I never thought these sounded that great, anyway, too "electronic" sounding, not like a "real" lightsaber.
I have one of these modules that I never put into an EL saber. Mine is just the sound module itself, without the metal sleeve with the switch and audio output jack mounted on it.
Mine has been sitting in a drawer, forgotten, for 8 years. I came across it again a couple years ago and it's not working right, the sounds aren't "normal" and they occur randomly. I tried new batteries, and it didn't help. So, even though I had good intentions for it, it ended up being a waste of the $55 I paid for it back in 2002.
I found a fairly recent posting by someone who has used one of these, if anyone is interested in reading about it and seeing more pics of the sound module itself:
