You will most likely want to use an economy hasbro board. They are cheap (so no biggie if you ruin it) and sound decent. There are no LED ramping effects. The CF is nigh impossible to purchase. The PC-L is a great board and is sold at TCSS. You might want to consider it, it requires some soldering skills...
LEDs...
I would also like to have the ability to switch out LEDs very easily (I know there's a way to do it) it isn't necessary but it would be nice if there is a problem or I'm in a different color mood.
The easiest and cheapest way to do this is to get a white seoul P4 and buy the TCSS color disk set....
Powdercoating...
For powdercoating is there a way to get more colors (mostly different shades) of what's offered? I know I would/should PM Tim but I wasn't 100 percent sure because the last thread talking about that was a while ago.
You can always ask, but he has increased his selection tremendously. What color were you looking at?
Overlay...
I know the tools and such needed for the sink tube overlay but is there a way to put it on the saber without screwing it on. You'll see why in sobe if my designs that its more regal without noticeable screws.
Yes, use two part epoxy and brush it on prior to sliding the tube on the main hilt... it will never come off.
Recharge port...
And lastly (for now) a recharge port, is it easy to hook up, wire in? I would like to one because that's less times I have to take the saber apart.
It is easy to wire it up, just make sure and follow the appropiate diagram.
