Appreciate all the updates, Dave! Looks like they're really coming along.

The only one I could justify to myself would be the Ren saber, but don't have the cash.

Congrats guys, hope you enjoy these in your collections. The Ren one is slightly tempting as its a very unique design but I'm just not sure about investing that much in a ST prop. If it was Han's blaster for that price I might have caved as the ANH one goes for a pretty penny. Look forward to...

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 ) I noticed that as well. It opens and closes best when the grenade is loose. When it's tightened all the way it becomes difficult to open and close. Not ideal but I have it on display open so it hasn't been an...

Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 ) My bubble strip is loose enough (also don't have soft ones) so I've been sliding it up a bit to get to the switch to turn the chamber on. It's more of a temporary solution until I figured out something better or saw...

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 ) I ordered 2050s on eBay but I've been using the 2025s with no problem after you mentioned those. Just got the soldering iron today and reattached one of the wires so now the button works again. Thinking of...

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 ) That's what I did. I bought a 2" bolt and a 3/4" washers. I actually used some of those same size washers on the other side as well to create some extra space so the bolt didn't poke through the emitter quite so...

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 ) Tom, I had similar problems with the lighting. One issue was the batteries weren't touching the metal connectors fully so it kept shorting out there. I shoved a small piece of metal in there and that seems to have...

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 ) Cool maybe I'll try some of those in the mean time.

Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 ) Got mine today. Picked up several 3/4" - 7/8" washers and one 2-inch bolt for the bottom part. Was able to put everything together with those pieces as the 2 1/2" bolts weren't perfect on their own. Anyone have a...

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 9-3-15 accepting payments ) What a tease!

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 9-3-15 accepting payments ) Sent payment for the chamber. Thanks!
