Parks EL Qui_gon: LED ready 9/15/07

I finally got it apart. 5 phillips head screws and that was it. Anything else I should measure? should be just as easy as the obi to convert.. Heck even one of my spare soundboards fit it. From the look of it an 4AAA or even an 6AAA pack (trangle shaped) will fit with room to spare.

Bummer... I was hoping it'd be like the Obi where the emitter was an insert. That means I'd have to stick to 3/4".

Oh well, it's great to see that the insides are quite open. The pommel is definately going to be rather easy to get sound into compared to the Obi. Can't wait to find one that fits my budget.

I do think the shank will come apart. I just didn't want to go that far. I can see where the 2 layers of metal come together where the set screw is. But then how do you attach eht blade holder?

great pics vortex.

personally, i wouldn't of had the guts to take apart 300$ a couple days after i got it, but it's nice to have someone do it for me

[vortextwist]

ehh, it wasn't that bad. It's not anyworse than spending 300 on a saber and putting it together.

I thought that grip section would go together like that. I was thinking about how one would machine that, and I figured that would be the best way to do it. It looks like it shouldn't be too difficult to convert. might need a custom led mount/heatsink....or maybe the one in the store will fit?

[vortextwist]

yea I will just take some time and figure out he best route to go.

They wear big gloves. the od is the same as an sinktube. trick photography, or bad angle
