Saberkit Obi-wan ANH P4 Conversion by LDM

[LDM]

I know it has been done, but not like this one. All electronics are in the saber itself including the optics. Most of you know that these usually have the optics in the emitter, but with the emergence of the ultrabright P4 blue LED, the light may shine through that thin little neck and we still have a nice bright blade. I know that it is missing some transistors and mylar tape (the person I did this for did not want the transistors and the mylar tape is actually on the saber now).

Particulars:

Seoul P4 Blue (from TCSS)
MR Vader Board
Custom Optics module
Mini spst slider under the Graflex clamp
4aaa battery pack (from TCSS)
HO Speaker (From TCSS)
LDM Custom 7/8" Poly-C blade

That is very nice! Great job.

Wow, awesome work!

I didn't know you were on the RPF as well. I'm the guy who recently bought two of your empty Yoda FX's.

Sweet, it's nice to see a bladed Obi saber that doesnt have a crazy fat neck.

Top notch work again LDM!!! I've seen other OWKs but this setup is definitely better and the sound is amazing!

Are the saber parts from Parks Sabers?

Cool, thanks again! They ship tomorrow (I am just getting ready to print the labels as we speak!)

Yes, the sound (with the way I did the holes) Is the best I have heard on this particular saber.

The Hilt itself did indeed come from Parks' site. He calls it the MKIII or something like that.

Everyone else, thanks for the great comments!:love

If you don't mind me asking, what is the cost to convert a saber of this magnitude?

This conversion cost him $155 because he provided the soundboard. Normally, it would run in the $225 range. The Larbel-O's that I do run the most at $350, so this is in the middle price-wise.

Nicely done! :thumbsup

I take the soundeffects are louder as compared to the reg. MR FX, no?
Or are these samples completely new ones (higher bitrate)?

It is a standard MR, but I tuned the resonance chamber for max sound!
