Lightsaber Edge Cards - straight ESB style leads

[thd9791]

Also they’re rounded, and all lined up on the left or something. Very different from the ESB and Jedi sabers

I don't know if anyone is still looking at these, but I recently picked up this one to use in my Wampa ESB. Another variant of the Otis A8112 boards from 1975.

Any idea how long ago that was?

A long time ago ... yet I've become an active member here since 2008 ... best to ask slothfurnace

i know, I know. But here’s it is with my incorrect Clare board, and I really wanted the fat trace which feels like a hallmark of the particular saber it’s going on:

Here’s what I’ve got to work with for my ranch saber.

I grabbed this from the junkyard many years ago, and wasn’t given any details about its origin.

Interesting, which CLARE is that from? Rounded traces, first I’ve seen from those relay boards if that’s what this is from

I love the color scheme of the gold and the green fiberglass

I can’t remember, to be honest. I picked it up a while back in the junkyard from someone who had just cut one up.

Right? I remember it was a “make me an offer” kinda deal and way before the insane prices for vintage pieces kicked in around the hobby. I probably low balled the poor guy, but the prices just weren’t where they are now, I think it was cheaper than a replica at the time.

Are these any good? bought them off of someone here ages ago and just came across them again. Thanks in advance.

Oh wow, those were the first ones I made I think back in 2008. I have WAY more accurate ones for sale now at www.slothfurnace.shop

2008!!! I knew it was a while back but YIKES! Thanks for responding.

 

[slothfurnace]

No problem! I could be wrong, as I am old and the force clouds my memory. But yeah those were some of the first cards I made for sure.

 

[SuperSnarf400]

Recently picked this up off ebay. Looks pretty good to me, thoughts?

 

[thd9791]

Yeah we’ve known about heald boards for a while! I love them. They have rounded instead of squared off leads, but other than that they look great in replicas!
