I can't remember if I ever posted to this thread. So anyway:
I'll always be a firm believer that the clean look was what the prop department handed Sir Alec, back in the day, and after he dropped it a couple of times in the sand, it lost a "washer", they tried to solder the interconnector back on and the Grafflex sleeve got scuffed up. IMHO

I never get tired of seeing this lightsaber. Everyones is so beautiful!
They all have their own personality to them. Love it
Yeah, they're all the same - composed of the same parts - but different.
Would be awesome if we could put together a compilation of as many of the full real parts obi that are here on the RPF. Just so we can see them side by side
The sexiest calendar idea just waiting to happen....
Thats actually a great idea! Car and truck guys have them. Firefighters have them... LOL why cant we
But in all seriousness, I'm willing to offer my photoshop services if the images are provided. That would be an awesome to put together.

Honestly, it could be a series of calendars....Obi-Wan, Graflex, MPP, DL-44....Vader helmets

I've already got some cool ideas in mind. Maybe we should start another thread to discuss it.
andyroo Not wanting to search 103 pages, these are the screen shots I know of that show the saber:
These are circa 2005 and 2006. Perhaps there are some higher resolution screen images now, but the upper left image in the first picture seems to have 2 washers. Maybe there was aluminum tape applied on the Graflex (probably to cover the word Graflex) but it seems pretty smooth in all these images. The "mechanismo" picture purportedly was post production and shown in a book published after the movie came out:
There's no telling what damage happen to prop in the interim.
IMHO.

It would be great for someone to get all these screen caps again now in 4K resolution.
Hey everyone! A few friends and I have done some looking into washers recently. These are a few teasers of the washers on my saber now, which are found parts. They're not a perfect match, but they're damn close. I think the style of washer found is the same type used on the original saber. I'm probably going to make a new thread for the info I've put together, or maybe I'll just post it all here, but in true RPF spirit I think once everyone knows what we're looking for exactly we have a real chance of finding some more accurate washers. Anyway, nough gabbing, I'll let the photos do the rest
some of the washers, on the left one I machined quickly based on my extrapolated measurements, the the found part as it arrived, then cleaned with acid and some scotchbrite (I found out scotchbrite on its own is enough) then one I turned down .0015 on each side to be closer to the dimensions I think I see on the original. On the bottom one, one of the turned down washers on an op amp.
