    Or you could just by-pass the fuse and beat the snot out of it...



    That's all I've done to mine and, knock on wood, it's still going.

    Well I polished the bottom 2 sections of the hilt tonight. I'll get some photos up as soon as I get back onto my own 'puter.

    I still have to paint the Emitter and Ribbed section so I didn't bother polishing them tonight.

    thanks, james3.

    as tight as the innards of that whole hilt were, 'tho, i'm surprised the hasbro board had any room to move at all.

    i'm gutting the blingsaber this week and re-soldering everything. the lux still works (i've tested it), so i'll try my other soundboard.

    Here's a quick pic of the polishing before I head off to bed.
    This really doesn't do it justice because the flash is exaggerating even the slightest of scratches, so I'll try to get a better one tomorrow in better light.

    And no I have not solved this issue yet, and have made only marginal progress.

    Well I brought my saber down to the Powder Coating shop to see if they could do what I wanted to do and how much.

    Unfortunately the guy to talk to left for the day just before we arrived, but we spoke with his son and he seemed excited about it and welcomed the challenge. He also thought that his father may do it as a freebee because they're friends with my father. So I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    We’re supposed to go back tomorrow to talk to the father and see what he says.


    I also ran it by my father about copper plaiting the Emitter section instead of Copper Powder Coat. He wasn’t too confident that it was going to come out like I want it, (I’m very picky) and it’s not going to be cheap, usually $80 flat rate just to set up the machine, and I don’t want to spend that much plating ¾” of aluminum. But maybe something can be worked out there too. I told him to just slap it on a rack with some other crap, no one would ever know… hehehe

    Hope all those deals come together for you.
