Looks like this original stunt Vader saber is going up for auction at Propstore in September. Seems to be a match for the ROTJ stunt, which could indeed have been originally used in ESB!

The red lights are Camdenboss panel mount indicators and the green lights are Saia-Burgess panel mount push buttons switches. I’ve posted purchase links for them before elsewhere on the forums here. They are still available from RS Components out of the UK, which would have been the same source...

Yeah, they are 2-pin Cinch Jones connectors. A slightly different variety of these connectors was used on some of the Boba Fett costumes. A fellow who goes by “Ord Mantell” on the Boba Fett Builders Forum and TDH recently did a write-up about them.

The actual screen used ESB/ROTJ belt boxes were RS Components branded enclosures. Hammond has enclosures that are all in the same ball park size-wise, which is why many folks use them. But again, the discussion about the Hammond enclosures doesn’t really belong in this thread.

From the looks of things, it appears Blaster Factory is working up the Rogue One Death Trooper version of this blaster, which is a fairly different animal from the ANH/Aliens version in most respects.

I started a thread on this two weeks ago, but it got moved to the "Screen Used Costumes and Props" section so it pretty much died a quick death there. Screen-Used OT Chewbacca's Bowcaster - Propstore March 2025

I think you're right, which makes you wonder why it was labelled as a "Reproduction Bowcaster" in the Planet Hollywood Heritage Auction if the base crossbow was indeed the original screen used piece. Clearly a complete rebuild now to more accurately replicate the OT look of the prop compared to...

It seems that what is purported to be the one and only screen-used bowcaster prop from the OT is going to be going up for auction at Propstore in March. It's not clear how much of the add-on greeblies and other components are supposedly original at this point, but there is mention of some...

One of the original screen-used Medal of Yavin props is going to be going up for auction at Propstore in March. I'm looking forward to the full auction listing photos when the entire catalogue goes live. Hopefully some more details about the attachment method for the ribbon will be revealed...

That makes more sense! As for any others, there are many different BA threads used on all the various Michell parts. For instance, and to be "that guy" again... I believe the cone knobs aren't really M6x1 thread like everyone is saying. I'm sure you can thread an M6x1 bolt into the cone knob...

I believe the Michell sweep arm counterweight is actually tapped with a 2BA thread. Did you somehow manage to thread an M6 screw into the counterweight? It shouldn’t even be close to fitting as the 2BA major diameter is 4.7 mm, so I’m curious what the scoop is!

I'd bet the letters obscured by the white rectangle aren't CM but rather CO, with a DE next to it and a Y below it next to the KE, as in CODE KEY like on the stock GE walkie talkie!

I believe the thinking is that the knurled Michell knob used on the oxygen mask tanks are the even taller ones that are actually the counterweight from this sweep arm: The Han in carbonite ones are two different heights, both shorter than this one, but the taller of the two may work if you...

I'll take 1, please!
