Lightsaber Edge Cards - straight ESB style leads

Hey folks, a comment over on someone's show off thread spurred me to make a thread documenting this search as a community. For Luke's ESB saber (and for a Shared Stunt post ANH) we look for 22 or 44 pin edge connectors. That's not a specific component so they can come from numerous sources. The...

Bingo! That’s the other thread I had in mind. It’s an excellent reference, and I learned a lot from it. Thanks for linking it here too.

I’m still not convinced that the screenused props had offset silver traces, like the Otis boards.

Here is my fully-centered silver trace Otis 1974 board.
I believe this is the exact version used in the above scenes.

Oh yes this one card is extremely nice and accurate indeed. You have nice toys for sure!

Heres the card I recently purchased from Corliss. Cut from a 1977 Otis board. I love the look, however I tend to agree with those who say its more likely to be a thin, offset trace card. This 4k shot of the Bespin saber sure looks like it has several offset traces to me.

It’s really hard to tell, though. There’s a lot of distortion and artifacts in that image.

Yeah, I don't know. Third trace down from the top looks pretty wide and centered, but others....it's hard to tell. This is likely one of the things we just aren't going to know.

Very close - those silver leads are a tad too thick though, check out the unpublished propblog photo set - the Skywalker Ranch Saber is in there and it matches the screencaps pretty well

If we can figure out an obscure detail like the ANH mystery rivets, then surely we can figure out such a prominent detail as the clamp card!

Someone get Roy in here to work his magic and start building a 3-D model!
