Lightsaber Edge Cards - straight ESB style leads

[Gregatron]

Setting aside, for a moment, the fact that we don’t know how the Ranch board lines up with the Bespin hero board, etc., that graphic looks a lot more plausible to me than the Otis boards people have been using, with some very obviously bigger gaps between certain traces. The reference indicates, if not symmetrical traces, then only very slightly offset traces.

Yea, like I say over and over - i found a certain couple boards by Otis that were the closest to date and used those pn my builds. They were not 100% but around 90% and people latched onto the brand name and have treated them as all accurate confirmed parts and advertised builds with them as if they were confirmed. I have no part in this, and never pushed it. Still proud of my close find but thats all it was.

Sometimes these things can spin out of control!

So, this is how the Clare board looks in my ESB Hero Graflex (with an extra beautiful Romans Empire button


This board's fiberglass is made by the same manufacturer as the Otis resistor board I found years ago

Got my board from Tom and trimmed it today! Beautiful looking for sure! Here it is next to an Otis board. Clare board top and Otis below.

I really like it!

Obviously it’s hard to tell but the sizing and spacing look good to me.

Looks incredible matty matt

Finally found some time to snap a couple pics. This was the last puzzle piece for me (even though I've had a couple other vintage boards that would have been close enough). It even gave me the motivation to finally update/upgrade my ESB Graflex, so thanks a bunch for that Tom!

(and I think it looks fine, even with the fiberglass layer separation issue)

 

[matty matt]

Beautiful, just beautiful!
