TOS Battlestar Colonial Blaster - any source for a Lights and Sounds Circuit Kit???

[darkev2]

Hello

A few years back I purchased a Electronics Kit to add Lights and the Appropriate Sound to a kit of the Original Battlestar Galactica Colonial Blaster from a seller on Ebay who has since left the "net'. I was wondering if there are any other sources for such given I have parts for another Blaster in my STASH. The kit included the circuit (preloaded with the correct sound file) , battery box, fully wired (without switch which at the time was easy to find through AMAZON and speaker.

Any suggestions for a source would be GREATLY Appreciated.

There's a guy in the Netherlands building Colonial blasters and selling via Etsy and Instagram, his blasters have a good electronics package. His handle is TheDutchCylon. Great guy to buy from, I picked up one of his blasters. Maybe he could sell you a kit or point you in the right direction.

Thank You!!!!

UPDATE!! I contacted "TheDutchCylon" and sadly he contracts out his electronics and well I'm back to square one (given I really don't expect him to link me to his source). I finally reached the guy who created the circuit kit I purchased but given "poor" quality and "high component prices" he is no longer producing the kit that I purchased from him. So I'm left with a few options; salvage parts from a Toy Blaster and ignore the fact it will not sound like an Old School Battlestar Colonial Blaster, find one of those USB sound modules (forgo the muzzle flash) find a good sound file of the Blaster and install or finally thrown down $300.00 or so to get one of the ready made ones (all the bells and whistles) from the net.

I don’t know one but I’m willing to help develop one!

I have one of his blasters, the electronics are great, great sound quality bight flashing lights. My only problem with the blaster is its a bit over sized compared to older casting of the screen used version.

This should work:

Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board - WAV/OGG Trigger with 2MB Flash

Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+Shield? Or maybe you don't even know how to use microcontrollers, you just want to make a sound play ...

www.adafruit.com

Hook up the flash led to the speaker outputs to power them. You'll then only need to source a small speaker and the sound effect.

I got these for 3d printed pistols for a sandman gun and Visitors pistol.

Was this adafruit board loud enough or did you have to add an amp for the speaker?

Anyone have a free STL of the TOS BSG blaster? I've been wanting to build one with lights and sounds, myself.

Have you tried the usual suspect like Thingaverse and Cults?

I had tried thingiverse, and no luck. But I just found a usable file on Cults. Thank you !

Thanks for the offer, I will get back to you!!!!

Coyle used to have these blasters back in the day. He rarely made them because they were less popular than other things he made.

He may still know where you can find a blaster or a circuit.

Richard Coyle still is producing BSG blasters with lights and sound board, he may be able to just sell you the lighting and sound kit.
