RESEARCH: X-WING CONTROL STICK

The top of the stick is the top of the Michell tone arm. Same piece is used a few times on the Death Star droid.
Maybe eethan can make some if the ejection handles are cast.
Michell refers to it as part 18 in the instructions. There's a stem to it which was inserted into the top of the ejection handle.
I don't have the part itself, only pics...

Did you get any real pieces to measure from?
I double checked with a friend and the central core of the tone arm is 1 inch. Slightly bigger than the other tone arm piece you already make (Michell greeblie 1).

I actually used a drawing you posted quite a while back on page 5 but I indeed changed the diameter to 1" as it was saying 24.5mm on the drawing and I assumed 25.4mm was actually correct instead. I'm trying to get my hand on those real parts when possible but can't afford much so I'm always happy for help for measurements from original if possible :)
I'm mostly doing those small parts to help out, so any help is welcomed :)
cheers
 
Is this the same part as the disc used on the side of the DLT-19? Curious minds...
yes, I think.
used as greeblies on the Death Star, DLT-19 blaster, RA-7 droid, interogation droid, Xwing, probably on the Falcon too... everywhere!
 
I am once again amazed the same thing was in two different scenes and never knew.. the chair.. those big machine looking set piece things on the falcon and in the Death Star.. wild

I noticed there is an RAF relay pair on the side of the cockpit, is the magnetic relay and switch on the at one control stick a pair as wel?
