Limited Run - “Mine! Or I will help you not!” YODA LAMP BLOWOUT. Last in stock SALE
FINAL STOCK BLOWOUT!: So I have a few of these left, but only a VERY small amount of electronics kits left to install them. So here's what I'm going to do. I am going to offer the remainder to blow them out at two price groups. Static, and Kit. 1. The static prop, I will do all machine...

Vintage Real Parts Obi Saber Clamp Modification
I received an update from Dustin newmagrathea today on my vintage Real Parts Obi build, Dustin did a video on the modding of the vintage Clamp to allow the use of the vintage Transistor mod using a 8-32 threaded bolt that will fit the Romans Empire Static Clamp Spacer, first posted by James Kenobi 1138 & re posted below, my Transistors were modified by Troy Seneca on his Mill.

Obiwan Lightsaber Clamp mod
We are not completely happy with the different height positions of the Transistors and are considering options to get them closer, I would be interested to hear from others who have used this method & were able to get the Can heights the same.

ANH Kenobi transistors
I did a search and didn't really see much so forgive me if this has been covered. What is an alternate way to attach transistors to the clamp if you don't have a drill press. Attaching threads is out. I rec'd Motorola MA205s today. I've already dented one up...doesn't look bad that way...

Huge fan of Dustin! I too like the transistors with custom fitted screws. I’ve done about 6 of them now and not happy with any of them..
I can’t find 6-32 screws with a big enough head to lathe down to fit nicely inside the transistor cap.. all of them are much smaller and I epoxy them inside.. which doesn’t keep them centered
I was curious if these are 6-32 screws? The thread looks
Much larger, but even with my 6-32 screws I have to file down the squares in the clamp.
Looks like Dustin removed the same amount of material I do for my 6-32’s
Really curious about the size

Thanks I’m gonna reach out to him see what cap screws he used. I think roman only has 6-32 holes in the clamp soacer.
I have to double check

One transistor is gonna be slightly taller, as it's sitting in -& on- the inner lip of the washer... thingie. I think it looks great! Your saber is gorgeous!
The transistors on mine, I splayed the little wires out, inside the clamp, to hold them in place. They hold just fine. If I handled it more, I might dab a drop or two of crazy glue to the wires & clamp (inside), to make them more secure. But for sitting under a plexi cover, I'm happy.
Hi Danny I am just online, looks like you sorted the thread size issue, yeah Romans Clamp Spacer is drilled for 8-32, here are some WIP pics Troy Seneca sent during the Transistor modification;
Thanks buddy I love seeing my vintage Obi come together, its been a long term project with help from a lot of good friends here on the RPF, in relation to the Transistors I think I worked out a solution with Dustin to calm my OCD... add the Washer to the other Transistor, then the Can heights will be the same lol!!

Affirmative, probably. This one from Xmas 1979. Not the pen light I originally wanted but after ESB on second public night and seeing the lens wafted around the screen at around 2 foot tall - clearly it was the one I was after

Thank you for the pics
Yes I forgot I have one of romans early spacers. His new spacer and transistor replicas are 6-32
His old one is 8-32 makes so much sense now
Bulk Lot of Browning .303 MKII Guns FOUND
I have been working on a Group Purchase Deal for the past weeks, a few close friends have been in the loop.
I found a Dealer with a bulk lot of Browning .303 MKII Guns that have been stored for years, I fell off my chair when I opened the email with the photos, the guns look to be in great condition given their history & time past.
Now finding just one of these guns for the Booster is the dream of most, finding a bulk lot in this condition is an amazing find, which I wanted to share with the community as hunting these guns for the Boosters is only the first step getting them to the community is the next step, which would not be cheap or without risk...
Update:
Since my original post I have become aware of a number of RPF members (names not posted due to recent drama) who also found the Dealer at different dates, I have chatted with these members and wish to give a shout out to their hunting efforts.
