Thanks!
I'd recommend the Graflexshop adapter. It is meant to fit in a real (and replica) graflex. That is what I have installed in my vintage graflex as my blade holder. (http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=256361)
As for the electronics, I would buy the majority of the parts from TCSS. They have pretty much everything you'll need. No one offers a complete kit besides Yoda on the fx forums that I know of, but you'll probably enjoy doing it yourself. You could also contact someone about doing the conversion for you, which could even include a chamber to house the electronics and crystal etc.
How how on earth do you tell the difference between that and a real Graflex.

This is a good place to start, lots of awesome info here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=144206&highlight=Graflex+replica+real
I've read through that, and it helps some. Then, someone posts a bunch of pictures of their Parks V.1 that I can't for the life of me convince myself I can really tell apart from a picture of a genuine Graflex. Guess I need to see the thing in real life to clearly see the differences between a V.1 Parks and a vintage Folmer?
Sorry to rez an old thread, but my Parks Saber recently died. It might just need new batteries - I hadn't yet replaced the original ones. Anyway, stupid question, but I'm having problems getting the two CR123a batteries to fit and operate in the hilt. Does anyone have a diagram on how they're supposed to line up in the spring casing? If I have it right, then the problem lies elsewhere. Thanks.
