I did snag two with this in mind. I'm thinking about repainting/ rewiring the inside of one to leave displayed "naked" and weathering the coverings of that one. Then, depending on how I feel, I can display the other one next to the TPM version with the clean or weathered coverings by swapping them out. I may try and copy the paint job of the ROTJ 3po head that Adam Savage covered on Tested eight months ago, I like that look and his video is a great reference.
That sounds amazingly simple and reversable
That smacks of amperage needs. Many of the splitters and chargers will claim to provide 2 or 3 but not consistently but a straight to plug dedicated single line usually provides what it says. The "smartchargers" are not consistent but might work because the "smart" part is just it using more than 5v when allowed. It is tricky to get a real output without monitoring it on an actual meter. A high power 5v charger is not always just an increase in amps but usually also an increase in voltage. This voice module may contain larger capacitors which require higher amperage to keep them charged after they discharge. This is going to be the case with many usb items in the future. 5v is not a lot, so it has to make up for it in amps. Amps cause serious overheating so normal chargers will only last so long and battery packs may actually be pushed dangerously to overheating due to a rapid discharge rate. Maybe someone with one of these heads and a dedicated power supply can meter both the actual volt flow and the amperage during use of vocal module?
Thank you for the heads up. I really appreciate it.
I have seen a couple of other people use the Elmer's glue technique years ago. Yeah, it seems to be a known method.

Even though 5v 2amp seems awfully low, I would put money on it being a lot more consistently 2amp and above due to being a battery pack vs a converter. The truth is that most usb converters just openly lie about their output. This is great news for anyone wanting to run this as portable or wireless. Great post.
