yepp this one graflex got re-used a few times and vader ended up using it. Archives still has it, though it looks nothing like it did in Empire. What doc is this from? You can easily see the upper bolts

Right? I mean it can’t take that much time to give it a quick update…couple hours? 
I vote the Obi TPM saber get its own page! But I am somewhat biased on the issue.
We can confidently say that the red button is a aerospace hydraulic port plug, the purple hemi is a standard aluminum aircraft rivet (the purple coating indicates the material) that may have had an “S” stamped on the head, and we can somewhat confidently say the brass knob is a Parker Hydraulic Hose barb or something similar. Also, while not exact the Bulgin DX1093/TR LEDs w/ bezels are very close to what what was used on the hero prop.

I think like the OT sabers, it would be good to have a nicer section for the Prequel sabers with all the info about the props there is now, as well as the sabers from the shows
Not sure the best place to ask this question, but I'm trying to figure out if there's a maker of the type of replica I want, i.e. what should I look for on the market.
I thought the DaveP version is what I wanted, but in reading the full description, that is a replica of the prop, i.e. no lights, no FX.
I think, essentially, I want the 7Chambers version, but all the problems in that thread have steered me away. Basically I want the cave/ISYHCANL version, that opens to show the crystal chamber and lights up with a green crystal. I don't care about a blade, and I don't care about sounds, just the light.
Does anyone make that, or do I need to buy a hilt and have is customized by someone else?

Are you looking for the most accurate possible? If not, the Shadowfoil Props VeeOne has what you are looking for
Haha, good question. Is there an option for something more accurate than the Shadowfoil?
I'm not an expert at the details of each, so I'm not sure I'd be able to tell what's accurate or not. I'm still learning about the differences between the versions of the ROTJ hilt, but at the end of the day, I think I'd rather have something that's accurate at the expense of "play features" than the other way around.
I own one of Spirit of ob1's hilts that has the crystal chamber, which as I understand is based on the Shared Stunt hilt, but as I continue to explore the hobby, I realize what I really want is the Hero/Cave build.
