I recently aquired a MR Darth Vader made in 03. The sound board is dying/dead, the swing and clash sensors are failing, and the blade has a horrible "wobble" in the hilt. Whom ever owned it prior was kind enough to replace the original speaker with a Radio Shack speaker I may get one good swing with contact before it ended the piece.
I also recently converted my own Vader 07',(cause I'm funny like that) using TCSS parts and the tut. (Awsome btw) I wanted to do the same with this one, but I can already tell that it will be more interesting. The switch location is different, and the batterys are different (6 instead of 3).
Has anyone attempted a convert with this model? Succesfully?
Here's what I'm thinking. New guts, SB has to be replaced anyhow. Go get new guts from a friend, (05/07 Vader SB chassis, battery pack), new clamp. Re-assemble it with the kit Tim has. In theroy sounds good .
But wait there's more....
Instead of turning it back to Vader, rebuild it as Anikins AOTC saber. I like that idea, just wanted some input. Any thoughts?
