    Default Parks Qui Gon conversion with crystal chamber

    It's been a while since I posted a build. Here is a Parks Qui Gon I just got done converting. The original builder had come up with an interesting idea for the chassis, but the execution was a bit lacking in my opinion. I revamped the whole saber, installing a PC-U along with a Rebel green LED. Power is supplied by a single 14500 Li Ion cell with a 1.3mm charge port/kill key combo.

    Specs:
    Original Parks Qui Gon (not the recent Korbanth run)
    PC-U with Nova's TPM font
    1" blade
    custom chassis/crystal chamber
    10mm square Rebel on an Orbital Machining heatsink/optic setup

    Love the look very sharp. your wireing is also top notch, can bearly see any of it.
    Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

    Thanks guys!

    The wires were all soldered to the bottom of the sound board and then fed through brass tubing to wherever they needed to go. The speaker wires (purple) were the only ones that had to go to the top of the board as the SD card holder is right below

    I want one... What a beautiful conversion.
