* Convert FX lightsaber from non-removable blade to removable?

[ghost_a*]

I did a few different searches and didn't find much on this
i found a lot on converting an already removable blade to a luxeon blade.

i also found this thread, but the links are broken in it:
http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...vert+removable

basically as the title states, i have a 2005 or 2007, i can't remember Anakin ROTS MR FX.

there are two things i'd like to do, but i want to kill two birds with one stone.
as it happens to everyone, a few LEDs have either gone our or become disconnected so i have those blade spots (unlit spots) in the blade.
i'd like to take the LED strip out and re-solder those.

in doing this, i'd also like to convert the stock LED ladder blade to a removable blade.

i have this tutorial on making a pretty cool quick disconnect:

but what i need is a good tutorial on disassembly and rewiring of the anakin ROTS FX saber hilt.
i REALLY REALLY don't want to break it.

thx for any help

am i correct in assuming i'd just need this: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/6-...ctor-P458.aspx
wire it up, and then add a retention screw and use my existing blade setup?

again, all i'm looking to do right now is convert it, using the existing electronics/LED/blade setup, into a removable blade.

thx a lot by the way for the link

if you look through pics from that thread 18-20 it shows that you don't need anything else except the conversion kit from the store

http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/MR...-kit-P248.aspx

and led, wire, and heatsrink tubing to convert it

Also, this needs to go into the conversions forum.

awesome, thx guys.
i'm going to try to work on this this weekend.

[jin starkiller]

when I did mine I painted the conversion kit black except the top portion (1/2 section) made it look better ...just a thought

[ghost_a*]

to start off i'm going to disassemble my FX and convert it to a removable blade with some kind of plug connector since that'll cost, tops $5.
then as funds permit, i'll order the full conversion kit from TCSS and swap out the plastic emitter and the stock blade with a P4 LED and TCSS blade.
i have a wish list of AWESOMELY CONVENIENT PRODUCT to get from TCSS anyways, so i'll lump that conversion kit in with all that.

i have a wish list of crap to get from TCSS anyways, so i'll lump that conversion kit in with all that.

Saying "stuff" would have been nicer.

TCSS doesn't sell "crap".

HAHAHAHA, my mistake. no offense meant at all to TCSS. you guys make this hobby actually "do-able" at a decent price. i retract that word
