Again you don't have to believe me, as I really don't care if you do. I was just recalling my story of a great find.

I call BS too. Camera dealers have long ago learned about the Star Wars folks looking for those flash handles. Let's see pictures.

Yea like I actually have a photo from 7 years ago. Did you read my post. Or maybe you refuse to believe that it could happen.

Seven years ago?
That would be 1998...if you don't count this year since we are barely in January.
The RPF as we know it now was not even born yet. I do not think EZboard was even around then.
At that time we still thought the Ob1 saber was made from a motorcycle handle and a lawnmower gear.
We still thought the ANH Vader saber was made from a Heiland..not an MPP. (And that the ESB Vaser was from a Heiland "SOL" flash.)
Ep1 was not even out yet....and the Visual Dic was even further down the line (when we first saw Yoda's saber).
And even after the Yoda saber was introduced...we all thought for the longest time it was a Bosley flash. (It was not until around early 2001 that it was discovered to be a Praco.)
But you find all these flash parts...in 1998.
The MPP and Praco have not been identified yet (Hell..the Yoda/Praco was still a glimmer in Steve D's eye) but you say...
"needles to say it was a great day for me"
...which aludes to you knowing exactly what the flashes were used for...in 1998.
Yeah...a pretty tall tale.
But nice story nonetheless.
