Let me know if not and I'll send it to you.
Yep. see the first post hereSo I just got my 2773 in the mail and I'm super excited to start making this into something. Are there still kits available?
I did, however, order some 8mm capacitors to the replace the printed one, for that extra touch of authenticity.
FWIW, I bought an NOS RCA transistor on Ebay for a few bucks, and it's a perfect fit, as well as having what looks to be the same type of circular text on the zoomed in pics of the call box. It's also 8.2mm wide, so I'd bet my bottom dollar it's one of these vintage tophat transistors, not a capacitor. It just needs to be sanded down to the correct height!

I know this is a old thread. Wow 20 years ago give or take, a fellow RPFer and I tried to figure this out. Seems we were out done.
I give those here props!
Holidays are around the corner.
Maybe it is time to do another run because I am in!

to be honest, I'm not even sure the grips are the same. Some pics make them look like something completely different and there are ZERO good shots of them. I wouldn't be surprised if they were windshield wipers or something.It just occurred to me -- the guys making the Holiday Special couldn't get any parts of the saber right except the grips, the one part we can't source a vintage match for!
