the operation was a success

[TK1961]

I just finished transplanting a sound board from a cheap Han solo costume blaster into my vintage kenner solo blaster !!!!

no pics?

 

[Lichtbringer]

If i may ask ....... why?

 

[TK1961]

why not? it sounds better than the original 1977 sound. They used a dc motor and a piece of plastic.

I like the original sound.
it brings back memories.

 

[jme3]

It would if only mine were still working. I still have the blaster, but alas, not the sound...:unsure

I like the original sound.
it brings back memories.

Yeah, my original's motor died too. However, I think the Rubies sound board would work better improving an E11, pipe, resin, or Hasbro - no way that sound is supposed to be a DL-44.

Good god man! Who do you think you are, Dr. Frankenstein? Re-Animator? :lol

 

[slave1pilot]

Mine still works.
Here she is

(The Land Speeder still works too LOL )

 

[Timmythekid]

Oh my god! You've still got the sticker on that thing! And I think I busted the gearshift-floaty thingy on the landspeeder sometime in '78...then busted off the top engine. The whole thing is in pretty sorry shape right now.

It works, it has the sticker on - but i painted the flashhider gunmetal (as a child):

And i lost one of the buttons. :angry



And it even has light. :cool

Just a flashlight bulb and 2 wires, stuff i found in a drawer in dads garage - as a child i had no idea to make it any better. Maybe that´s the reason it´s still working? :lol

These aren't my originals, those befell the same fate as yours and are long gone.
These were replacements to try and fill the void .:lol
