MR sound system removal
I am working on my personal saber design, but I haven't seen a post on a way to remove a MR sound system with the speaker and battery pack and reinstalling it in a modular or sink pipe hilt. The whole idea is to keep the battery pack/speaker combo intact [from an Anakin for example], remove the sound card and then reinstall it. A wiring diagram would be nice too. If I have missed finding this, please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I am going to assume that you want to use a luxeon led or the stock MR blade either way the following links should get the information you need on the MR sabers.

You do want to use the same sound board and just replace the MR LED array with a luxeon, correct? I know for a fact that the board that's in there will run without the LED array connected, so you'd just have to work in a driver board, or a resistor if you wanted to do it on the cheap. I'd think it's pretty simple, but you'll have to find a way to mount everything in your saber and have it not slosh around in there.

Umi,
What is that 'thing'? I have seen the picture a couple of times but what is it? A sink pipe adapter? something of your own making? I have pulled the 'guts' from a MR saber for a custom saber as well. I found that it was to hard to keep pressure on the spring pins so I removed them and soldered wires directly from the contacts in the battery compartment to the pads were the pins are locate. It works great and with a little padding the whole thing slides right into the sink pipe body.
edit: to slow - you explained while I was typing

Thanks for the tips. No, I am not converting the MR Anakin to LED. I am removing the sound board and battery pack/speaker for installation in a custom saber. New question: Does the battery back as is, power a Luxeon LED system? This is the 3AA battery pack from the MR Anakin. Second question, is there a wiring diagram for this? I have seen the one for the Hasbro sound card, but not the MR one.

In the vader conversion you will find the wiring instructions to wire a 3 watt luxeon led to the MR sound board and use the orignal 3 cell battery pack.
