Limited Run === G R A F L E X === Flashgun Gen.2 ... now taking PRE-ORDERS!!! New Pics Oct. 5

Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... "Almost there..."

I'm sure it'll be great, especially as a TFA saber. I tried one of those clamp covers before Roman made the 'no-logo' clamps and it was such a pain. I'm so glad he made clamps without the logo.

I've tried posting a few times on Merv's Page, anyone know how often he makes CF8 boards, I'm in UK and CSS is a bit expensive given poor conversion rate and crazy postal cost for a tiny item.

I'm in no rush as I'll be in the middle of the run but would like to have the sound board in my hands sooner rather than later.

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

There was a tiny issue about 10 days ago, and it has already been fixed!! :) I didn't post about it, because then everyone was going to freak out and we still had time according to their last ETA.

Bulb-contacts didn't look quite right, so they were remade. Everything is still being assembled, but they said they are "busting their butts" to get them out right away. So maybe a few more days.

So close! Quality first is a good thing. So it's looking like December then?
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... "Almost there..."

silly to ask I know but these will come 100% ready to light (just add batteries) up assembled correct?

Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... "Almost there..."

Anyone have an idea on how to give the clamp that sort of brassy tarnished color that it had in TFA?
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... "Almost there..."

It had a metal cover plate.
Refer to the TFA saber research thread in the Star Wars section.
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... "Almost there..."

Indeed! But I bought Roman's clamp without the Graflex logo stamped on it, so I've been trying to figure out the best way to make have that slightly brassy color so it looks more TFA screen accurate.

And the answer is still to pay $10 to have a nickel-plated cover clamp applied over the actual clamp. There is no easier solution.

is it too late to be added to this wonderous (and extremely long) list?
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... "Almost there..."

I keep checking when I see a new post on here to see if it's from roman. Lol. So my question is, will he need to rent a big box truck to go to the post office? Lol
