ANH, ESB, TFA Graflex Project
Not all in one, all 3. I've gone saber building nuts. While I have this project going on, I also re-designed and re-built my Mako MHS RGB saber. New main tube, new chassis, in-chassis rc port. I had to solve some issues. My work bench is very busy right now. Very busy. Tonight I finished Saber 1, which was ANH Graflex.
I am using Korbanth Graflex 2.0 replicas as the base for these sabers.
So, this first post is some photos of the first Graflex which is ANH version. This saber is powered by NBIV. It has a RGB accent LED illuminating the crystal, which is wired to match blade color and FOC my way, which is fairly unique. It has a DR Chassis system (Knight), TCSS blade plugs, red button activation, 2 blue accent LED's under the board, accurate screws, milled down glass eye for blade retention, Veco Bass Speaker, B,B,W tri-cree, and the crystal is a real quartz crystal in the chassis chamber.
All 3 kits ready to roll!
Build progress:

Riveted D-Ring, with hollowed out rivet.
Quick video snippet of crystal chamber in action. FOC in crystal chamber looks goldish here, in person, it looks white. But you get the idea.
