as a prop builder for the movie, do you take the time to grind off two of those?
Wire cutter or cutter part of pliers would do this in less than a second. Not an obstacle. Doesn't help resolve this

That is accurate, last complete I saw for sale was right around that price.
I always thought the grenade was the hardest part to find, boy was I wrong
I honestly don’t know the going rate for grenades? I’ve seen
Male balance pipes (converted) 750
Clamps 150-180
Sink knobs 250-400
Boosters 1500euros
Grenades ??
Calculator 250
Are these prices accurate?
Edited with better quotes from owners 10/19/18
Balance pipe (male): 1000-1500
Balance pipe (female): 1500+
Clamps: 150-180
Boosters: 1500 euros (1800 US dollars)
Grenades: 2000 (good condition)
Sink knob: 250-400
Calculators: 250
Resistors: cheap enough to not have to worry about

So hard costs IF, and that’s a big if, you can source all the parts, are ballparked at $6,000 USD.
I suppose the $10K USD figure accounts for the legwork: Antique stores, flea markets, calls to arms dealers, UK plumbers, and aviation graveyards- sleepless nights pouring over the Internet, the inevitable call to Rolls Royce and of course friendships made across the globe to make the dream real. Here’s hoping I don’t have to sell mine off.
Fusion - that price check was from 2018. Recent female balance pipes are in the 5000-6000 range from what I hear. Last boosters sold quickly at $2500-2700.

Continuing the gigantic OB1 build. I believe this is a couple feet across.

Hello guys,
I hope you are all doing well despite the situation
I'm looking for a stand to display my semi-vintage BenKenobi saber, and I wanted to know how you guys are displaying your pride and joy.
It may be the occasion to make it a feel good thread with all your beautiful pics

I dug up these three threads but couldn't find the grenade find! Anyone have a link or story on how that happened?
Unfortunately I never made a notation about who made the case/stand and who made the plaque (I never seem to remember to do that), but they were both from members here on the board.I'm looking for a stand to display my semi-vintage BenKenobi saber, and I wanted to know how you guys are displaying your pride and joy.

I belive you are correctI'm pretty sure I remember reading (in some thread or another) that discovery predates this version of the RPF. Might have been back when it was on ezboard.
Lol! Thank you. They are most definitely real this time. As soon as i get all the boosters off the jackets i will post new pics of my sabers.well coolhanluked, I'm pretty sure those are real this time! congrats, well deserved![]()
