I just got mine today. Everything fits on my end...just waiting for my local CVS to re-stock the 2025. Although, it fits on Roman's parts flawlessly, pic below shows, it also fits on my parks grenade and and serafino booster too.

Now to tackle that transister spacing.....

Are the smaller threaded rods to screw everything onto, included too?

Yes sir, but they do require some trimming

Great. Trimming is no problem. They better be a bit too big, than too small .

Should be the same - I've seen them in Tesco, Sainbury's etc.

Mine has been sent back!

I paid extra to get it to you in 6 days... don't wanna be the one holding up the next run of machined fixes.

I'll PM tracking.

Got mine. Little question: the part with the crystal is loose inside the "chamber". Is there a way to open up that chamber so I can screw the brass crystal holder into place?

Also, the head of the bolt where I should screw the sink knop onto, is just too small for the booster. It slips through it. So I need to finds some washers to use, I guess...

Hi,

Yea you will need washers for the bolts, for the brass piece just remove the set screw and push the piece through so you can tighten the brass piece.

Sent you a PM. One of the set screw in mine is not in completely and I can't move it. Causing the chamber not to close completely. Only noticed this now that I installed it into my saber. (Or better: tried to install it, since I can't screw it onto the grenade like this. Also the piece that this set screw should be holding in place is loose... ...

The screws fit all the way in, if it was removed it's possible that it's not in right, try repositioning it. They are very small so if it's sticking out it's not in right.

Just wanted to update that I did recieve mine, and that it fits perfectly! Closes and opens just fine, the only thing is one of the transistors on mine will have to be filed down a bit to fit, great job overall though!

Hey Rudy, please add me for the second list.

Securing bolts from the inside with lowest possible profile: star lock washers. They're meant for straight shafts, but should work with a thread for this application.

Another FYI: Anyone looking for batteries for the 2-cell switch housing I saw pictured earlier to power the crystal LED should look for CR2032 (3.2mm thick) - that's should be the correct size for that enclosure. 2025 (2.5mm thick) is too thin and will have contact issues - "2050" which I've seen mentioned in this thread isn't a standard battery size which is why you're unlikely to ever find one at retail (at 5mm it's possibly also too thick for the enclosure).

Is there an ETA for the rethreaded spacers?

Re: Obi Wan ANH Saber Crystal Chamber Kit ( update 1/21/16 plz read post # 474 )

I just mailed mine back today. Unfortunately work took me out of town the day after my chamber showed up... It should be there in a couple days.

There will inevitably be people that haven't paid attention or aren't posting here. Perhaps tagging/sending messages to those you possibly are waiting on? That way if anyone misses the cut off, you made every attempt to contact them
