The Wand Company TOS Phaser Upgrades??

[AJK001]

From what I've read elsewhere, you have to VERY carefully pry the P1 apart to get to the battery to replace it. Although I don't know if the replacement battery is still available since we are talking about something from almost 10 years ago. I know others have taken apart the P1 to modify it but it can be hit and miss as to whether or not you mess it up in doing so.

Is this the battery we are looking g for? Howeasy would it be to replace?

 

[coletrain66]

Bump to see if someone has replaced the battery? And if this is the battery that I found? Looks as though it is the same.....?

Time for someone to do a good video tutorial on the Wand Phaser disassembly

More importantly, the P1, and the battery replacement. Because, eventually, it's going to have to be done.

I am also looking to upgrade the P1 battery. This is essential before anything else. I wish they had just put in a replaceable battery . Advise please if anyone has had luck

The annoying thing, is it only needs to be the Phaser 1 that needs to be redone. A replacement partially-reengineered Phaser 1 that clips into the existing Phaser 2 body! That's got to be cheaper to manufacture than redoing all the tooling again.

For those of you who added the watch crown jewel to your Phaser Is, did you just file off the stem on the crown and glue it on, or did you drill a tiny hole in the plastic phaser shell and glue it in? And what glue you use?

I'm also curious: If anyone here polished the exiting plastic emitter (rather than replacing it with an aluminum one) what polish did you use?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I've employed both techniques successfully, using CA. Whatever polish you use, be careful not to be too aggressive or you will break through the coating to the underlying alloy. Best. Mike.

Thanks for the tip on using CA. Worked like a charm!
