Brand new to TCSS, already bought my soldering iron just need to know if I am going to be getting all the right parts. I have been at this for the last couple of days trying to figure it out. I have started the list basically from top to bottom if from the emitter to the pommel with associated millwork, screws etc. Then with the electronics at the very end. I don't want sound, just an expensive flashlight...
Any time that I have said something in parenthesis punctuated by "[?]" it means that I am not sure about this part and was hoping for confirmation/clarification.
- Holder20; MHSV1 Blade Holder Style 20 (I didn't put millwork for the blade retention hole because the description of this emitter says it has (among others) one 8-32 hole which I assume is for blade retention but it is not clear in the pictures, am I correct in this assumption?)
- EARS; Bunny Ears
- MillWork; Drill and Tap Hole (4-40) location: "As is shown in picture number 4 for product "bunny ears" to attach ears to back (long) side of MHSV1 Blade Holder Style 20"
- SH440; 4-40 Socket Head (x2) (to hold bunny ears in place after millwork [?])
- 83238WTS; 8-32 x 3/8" Stainless Steel thumb screw (blade retention screw[?]) I was wondering about the length, because they offer 3/8, 5/16 and 1/2 inch I think??
- RGCcombo; Ribbed grooved/choke combo
- PowderCoat; RGC1 in Black Matte Tuscan
- DF3; 3" Double female threaded connector
- BOX9; Activation box style 9
- MillWork; Box 9, 10 and 17 Mounting holes service, location: "Top (0.5" from end? Or whatever you usually do) of Double female threaded connector).
- 440BH; 4-40 Button Head (x1) (retention for activation box style 9 [?]) Seems that this one screw, as well as the activation switch and charge port, are what hold the activation box in place. Am I wrong?
- MPS4; MPS Pommel style 4
- MPSI4; MPS Insert style 4
- Cclip; MPS Clip
(electronics)
- RSLM; Rebel Star LED & MHS Heatsink Module, Luxeon Rebel Star (Blue)
- SMRNW; 16mm Anti Vandal Short Momentary White Ring Switch
- SCJACK; Switchcraft 2.1 mm Power Jack
- PAN18650P; Panasonic Li-ion 18650 3.7V 3400mAh PCB Protected Rechargeable Battery.
- 37Li-IonCharger; 3.7 Volt Li-ion smart charger with 2.1 mm plug
- DynaOhm; 20mA DynaOhm Variable Resistor (x2) [It seemed like these resistors (which apparently automatically adjust their current to whatever current is needed?) might work for place in line between the LED activation switch and the battery, as well as between the battery/recharge/switch and the LED. I am a relatively intelligent guy but have absolutely zero experience with any kind of electrical work]
- Bought a multi-pack of heat shrink from RadioShack.
- Need to know what kind of wiring (Dual 22 or 24 gauge wire, 22, 24 or 26 gauge wire spools??) to get for the additional wiring I will be doing between the Battery Pack, Recharge Port, Resistors, and LED.
- I really am not sure which blade to get. I wish that the pictures on the website were bigger so I could get a better idea of the difference between the LED "TCSS style" battle blade 1" OD and the LED "Corbin style" battle blade 1" OD, as well as the different looks of the flat tip, and bullet tip, and between the double-wrap and quad-wrap of the "Corbin style" blades.
Whew, that took a while. Thanks again.
Dave
