OK, you beat me in that.

But i got a new/another Kobold (don´t know why i still keep buying them :wacko )

Looks like you´re using a Bertby for display, too?

Yes, I recently installed it and build the LED strip in!

I love your lighting. :thumbsup

Mine only has a spotlight directed to it, and while it´s OK, i´m not really impressed.

Might you share more info what you used, and how it´s installed?

It's pretty simple: I got this LED strip lighting with self adhesive backing:

And I still had an adapter lying here to power it.

Ah, Thanks. I thought Ikea might have something new.

Nice displays there. My ESB and wip starkiller v2 just sit on my workbench casually. People who see them often just think they're a miscellaneous real-life tool :lol Only a matter of time before I spill tea on them.

My unconverted graflex is in the wardrobe, wrapped in bubble wrap and in a diploma tube haha

But such happens - my wife was once asked by her (slighly disturbed looking) friends at a ladies evening in our house why i have a collection of curling irons on display. :facepalm

I had a thought that the reason why the plating on the Wired saber has a bit more of a gold tone could be because it's off of an Icons saber.

Dan

I wondered the same thing, as many Icons Graflex's have turned really dark grey.

Where should I get my conversion kit now??? I use to buy Blastech kits but I don't want rubber grips, I'd rather have plastic. Any one stop shopping??

Who here keeps unconverted Graflex flash units. Blasphemy! Heresy!

Ohh, I dunno, I might keep one or two unconverted...

I have been looking quite a while for hex screws of this kind, since there is a rumor they were used for the kobold on the OT ESB saber.

I didn't know these were available in this size. I think I'll order some...

The T-track appears to have a different profile.

True. They appear to have a shorter and a more square looking rib.

Yeah, the taper of the rib is nearly non-existent. I didn't even notice they appear shorter but they do now that you mention it.

True. They appear to have a shorter and a more square looking rib.

The bases also seem to match the curvature of the flash, vs. the more or less straight ones with an adhesive channel from the OT.
