My brother used to date a girl with two Mastiff dogs, at 8 months old the male would be staring me in the eyes when he was standing and I was holding his paws,

What is the real advantage of having the Precision Made kit over the real Kobold Flash? I know the real Kobolds are pretty hard to come by, and at least right now the kits are available for less than the Kobolds I see selling on Ebay, so that is a plus. Will it be easier to add electronics to it vs the real one?
It sounds like it will be pretty slick.
For those that have real Kobold Flashes, what is your motivation for getting the kit as well. Not being negative, just wondering.
I think it is extremely cool that they are being made.

Sorry if I missed it if it has already been discussed...but does anyone know where I (we) might obtain a buzzer with a similar droid caller sound as heard in ANH?
All the buzzers I have been able to find are basically piezo buzzers that are more of a 'beep' than a 'buzz' sound

As for me, the Kobold I have is not the right model and unless I come across one in an antique store I don't think I will ever get the correct model. The prices for them on Ebay have gone crazy. The last silver model with red lettering I saw (which usually goes for less) went for around $400. The last correct Kobold I saw on Ebay for Han Solo ANH went for even more. Aside from that, even if I do score a real, correct model Kobold some day, I would not want to troop around with it.

Like you said the originals are very hard to come by and they are expensive,
You will be hard pressed to tell the difference between this kit and the original,
I think you guys will be happy with this, I know it's hard to see it right now but I will post pics as I go along,

The whole inside will be empty, so adding electronics should not be a problem, you will be able to fit a 9 volt battery inside with room to spare,

I picked up a silver Kobold on the very cheap side. My Google Foo was good that day. I am really looking forward to seeing your progress. Based on other stuff you have done in the past, these will be awesome I am sure.
UPGRADE!!! :cheers
The hardware parts that I was going to make out of regular steel will now be made from Stainless Steel!
This way I can be sure there won't be any rust over time, and it should be a little shinier,
The only part that will be regular steel is the head insert that the quick disconnect goes on,
I don't think rust will be a problem there because it is not handled,

I just have to tap the Q.R. Rings and they are done, almost done with the head inserts also,
