I ripped two of the ignition sounds from The Force Awakens. Not sure how well they'll mix in to fonts, but it's a start. Enjoy.

Can someone post a close up pic of the 2.0 button (top and bottom) please and if they have a real Graflex one can they post side by side pics

Not vintage, but here's the upgrade option from the junkyard

Think I'm just going to paint my button.

I painted mine. I used Krylon Satin Burgundy, and then a satin clear coat.

Thank you for the post. I was hoping for the whole button. Metal and all. I want to know if the 2.0 can be modd'd to fit in a vintage

FYI. Got my replacement red button and glass eye today from The Graflex Shop so they are back in stock.

I now have all the parts and tools... just need the hilt to come in.

How's the glass eye look? I ordered one and got an email on the 20th saying it would ship soon, hoping to see it in the next few days.

Looks good! Much better than an all metal one. I have a client with a digital drill press. I'm going to see if they can drill a hole directly down the post. If not I'll cut it off and drill a larger hole and glue it to the hilt with JB weld... I WILL have a shine through glass eye one way or the other...

That has me thoroughly excited. I wasn't thrilled about paying $10 for shipping on it, but between Roy's parts, this, and my KR blade plug I'm really happy.

Would anyone be kind enough to post measurements of the bottom half of the hilt? More specifically, I'd like to know the internal diameter and length, so that I can look for parts to build my chassis.

Here you go.





I recommend using a .05 to .1 inch tolerance on your chamber, that way you know for a fact that it fits inside and you won't have a delicate chamber getting stuck in your saber.

One of the Facebook pages had used some chassis discs from TCSS.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm actually trying to build the chassis using things that I find at hardware stores instead of relying on TCSS. I'm probably making my life more difficult than it needs to be though ;-)

Where does TCSS source their glass eye thumbscrews and kobold d-rings from? I just ordered one of each from them and I'm curious if they're the same stock as the ones from TGS and Roy, respectively.

I don't know where they source them from but they are not the same. The quality is not as good as Roy or TGS. The glass eye from TCSS is actually a clear gelatin material, not real glass. The one from TGS is real glass and a higher quality.

Interesting what a finished build will bring...

Jeez maybe they didn't notice 2.0?

HA!! That was built by a friend of mine. He was dumbfounded when it sold that high lol.

 

[H0llyw00d]

Here's one that sold today, a vintage Graflex but with rewiring needs:

Not that I'll be selling mine. Just blown away by how much they are going for.
