This is my 2nd MHS, and my new personal saber. It was originally intended to have blue O-rings in the grooves, but those have proven rather difficult to locate (painting O-rings didn't work well either). Internals include: Blue P4 LED, econo Obi board, 3.7v li-ion battery with recharge in pommel.
This was my first time wiring in a rechargeable system, and I was a bit nervous when I touched the iron to my battery. Everything went well, got a good solid connection.
For those wondering about the 2nd item on the switch box, that is a keylock switch. Yes, my saber has a real key for a killkey I can either switch that, or plug a dummy plug into the recharge port to kill power to the saber. It's set up so that the illuminated switch lights up anytime there is power to the board.
The two AV sized switches took up a good bit of room, and I wasn't able to go NiMH like I had originally planned either. There just wasn't anywhere I could fit 4 AA batteries without putting the switches on the ribbed section. Ahh well, I now have a set of batteries and charger for a later saber.
The blade plug is one of ARKM's razor blade plugs, and looks fantastic in there.
I am thrilled to have this one completed in time for Christmas. Now I have something I can use when I duel with the wife
