    Angry Don't convert a saber this way!

    This is the "Ultrasabers" Vader that I bought on eBay about a year ago. It worked so I never messed with it, but I have been trying to sell it because I have a "few" Vaders.

    I took this one apart to "spice it up" and HOLY $$@&, if I ever found out who converted this abortion and tried to pass it off as an ultraFX I will give Darth Morbius/Tyrannus their address!

    DO NOT EVER convert a saber like these first few pictures!

    Check this out!:



    YES, that is scotch tape! So I take the scotch tape off and I find this!:



    Not an ounce of solder any where near this thing! But hey, at least the wires are twisted together!

    So I redo everything and peel off about 12 tons of scotch tape and end up with this:



    On to the specifics:

    Lux III BIN 1 Cyan
    Ultrasabers UltraFX conversion kit
    Vader ESB MR
    RGB 5mm LED
    100Ohm resistor
    Windowed emitter (with brass mesh inlays)
    LDM blade

    The Video of the cool RGB:



    The pix:



    Okay it is safe to actually turn it on now...

    Note: I rearranged my photobucket account. The album for this thread is now located here: http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/l.../Cyan%20Vader/

    Whoa... seriously, they twisted the wires together and then put clear scotch tape on top?!?!?
    Damn, that's super ghetto.... I thought the first few images they tried to use hot glue from a glue gun at least....

    Oh well, I'm sure you did a good job fixing it

    It has MY name on the conversion now, so it is 100% guaranteed perfect.

    Geez, the guy couldn't even at least spring for a roll of electrical tape?

    I can't believe someone could sell something done that way, if they have any kind of conscience. Ugh.

    Either no conscience or he never learned the right way to do it! Listen up n00bs! The whole reason I posted this is for YOU to learn how to do it RIGHT. Don't be a turd like the guy who did this originally!

    I can not believe someone would try to sell THAT. I can't believe it didn't short out. Some people just don't take pride in their work. How can someone even GIVE that to someone and not think twice about it. That is horrible.
