The Ultimate Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi Real Vintage Parts Lightsaber Group

It's funny how most of you still need the booster to be your last part, whilest for me it was the very first vintage part I happily received of the OB1 ANH lightsaber, thanks to franz bolo . . . next to purchasing Exactra bubblestrips on ebay, G R A F L E X flashguns and an MPP . . . those were the days. That said if opportunity should arise a female Balance Pipe is still on my X-mas shopping list, eventhough my converted male BP will suffice my build ... and perhaps another symmetric grenade. Next season, before the harvest, I hope to be done collecting and assembling :wacko

I believe I was fortunate enough to grab the last booster available from that bunch. ( Thanks franz bolo )

Today I received my custom display case and I am completely over the moon with the pieces for my display.

Oh and thanks for all the kind comments you guys!

Finally had a chance to assemble it. This is a rough test fit pic.

I machined an adapter for the Balance Pipe yesterday out of brass with 2 o-rings so it won't wobble and fit tight.

I also machined an aluminum spacer. I need to tap some transistor holes next.
 
Thanks. I made it up as I went. I have to make another for my replica but that's probably it. The threading is for a 1/4 20 rod. Not sure what any of the other adapters are.
 
Super duper DOPE! I pick mine up frequently to nerd out to the max. Such a cool object, made perfectly from an amalgam of ridiculously unrelated parts.

Couldn't agree more Scott! Thanks for your help with the transistor conversion too!
