Could this conversion be any worse?

My MR Luke ROTJ was acting a bit funny... not always powering on. I took it apart this morning to take a closer look. This is what I found:

An awesome conversion done by someone without a soldering iron or heat source to shrink down the shrink tube over the wire connections. The wires weren't even twisted into tight spirals before "attaching" them to the others.

The spaghetti man strikes again.

Who the F**K converted is like that?!?!? They should be SHOT!

I kid you not; that is exactly what it looked like when I opended up the two halves of the MR black housing tube the board is attached to. Not sure if the unsoldered wire ends or the shrink tube made me laugh harder.

To me it looks like one of them DIY conversion kits you can get that reuses the stock MR bladeholder and blades, now I cant tell but is that a full metal bladeholder?

One other observation, where is the shock sensor that's supposed to be attached to the positive lead?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Not laughing at you... just the fact that whoever did that thought that it was an "acceptable" or even "adequate" means - oh my christ... I actually am laughing my blank off....

hoo.... Yeah, that sucks. heehee

I've opened up some saber hilts that -had I taken pictures- would absolutely destroy certain reputations... It truly is sad (or funny) sometimes...

Wow, where'd you buy that? Off of evilbay?

What audacity to sell something that horribly done!

He could have at least used a cigarette lighter on the heat shrink. That would have hidden his lack of soldering, and probably kept the the connections together a little longer.

"Audacity" yes yes, good word... that or sheer "apathy"... it just kills me THE HEAT SHRINK ISN'T EVEN SHRUNK!!! OMG!! I'm rolling again...
