S'ok... Even I forgot I took those pictures

I don’t know... I’m fairly confident that is a replica “thank you” list.

This is not for the impatient. It's not something one will just go out & "oh look, there it is" find. Many have been hunting parts for years. & a few parts (plural), when found, are close to - or more - than rent/mortgage payment. So beware this fantastic rabbit hole.
Enjoy the hunt.

That’s not the right one. Those are the modern, oversized versions.
take the first one, and sell the modern ones, modern ones can be mounted on a korbanth K4.
*mugatu’s HUNTING TIPS #2:
There are many places, but the problem everyone runs into is the amount of work and the raw hours involved in searching. The places are those that you likely suspect already: in the Junkyard right here on theRPF, other Star Wars prop or collector sites, eBay, other online auction sites, antique shops, boot sales, garage sales, flea markets, estate sales, etc.
Again, there is typically nothing at any of these on an everyday “going to the grocery” type of deal, but things do pop up on all of them from time to time.
The best advice I can give:
1. Do your research. The more you know about whatever it is you are looking for, the more and better the places you look for that item become. Also, along the same lines...
2. Know what you are looking for. When things become this rare, you may have to make a split decision on an item, and at these prices, most cannot afford to make an incorrect purchase.
3. Start saving your money. Again, nothing is worse than finally coming across something you’ve spent a full year of daily searching for to find out you don’t have the funds to cover it. Worst case, you just missed it; best case, you rush to sell some other valuable prop piece to get cash... I am the king of this and it becomes a pointless exercise to some extent.
4. Look, ALL THE TIME.
5. Look EVERYWHERE.
6. Look DEEPER. Sometimes you are looking at it and its right there under your nose but you don’t see it because you haven’t looked deep enough.
7. Do more research. Help out around here. Become the guru and help others get what they want. In this community, good will, helping others, showing you are willing to and have put in your own energy to research questions that have been asked AND ANSWERED a thousand times already, will bring you the respect and willingness to help from other members... members that may have a line or a lead that you are not even aware exists, but one that does exist for a part you have spent years looking for.
This all probably sounds slightly harsh and maybe even not the answer you were necessarily seeking, but I have just handed you the keys to this place and to fulfilling your Star Wars prop dreams. I cannot break it down into any easier pieces than that.
Good luck, and May the Force be with you!!!
