I am wondering.. How are the quality of the hilts? Convert able Maybe? Sure it would be a cheapo quality conversion, but still. An idea.

Got a Question? There's a thread for that...

I wonder if you would be able to replace those transistors with some higher rated ones to retain scrolling but get more current...
Probably not a job everyone could do, but I think it should be workable.
Got any pics of the board?

No, it is not really convertable. Keep in mind that it is still a cheap plastic toy and you would not be able to secure the blade good enough to make it removable. They look decent at a distance but up close they are still plastic.
to a early post stating you can put it back togeather, then you can get the board and return it... not that i would but funny.

How does it compare dimensionally with the 2010 econo Obi?
Yeah I'm waiting for somebody to post a picture

The blade is a little short and it is a decent brightness in normal mode (not demo mode) but the LEDs are spaced out too far and you can see the gaps in between the LEDs. Here are some pics of the hilt and board.
BTW - These take 3 AA batteries, not AAA batteries (at least the Vader one does) and it is NOT the same board as the 2010 econo but it does have the same sounds as the 2010 econo. If you put this in a custom saber be sure to wire the demo/normal switch in the normal mode, not demo mode.

whats that smaller board down at the bottom? How much mA do you get with 6v? Looks like 5 sections of LEDs. I wonder if we could use 5 transistors to make a LED-String blade.

I'm guessing that's the pommel cap with the speaker inside it.

The smaller board close to the speaker is the off/demo/normal switch. You can bypass this board by wiring the common wire to the normal mode wire. I will be putting this board in a saber soon and will make an official tutorial on it then. The wiring diagrams won't change much from the ones with the transistor set up.
