Can anyone translate this? Anyone know who made this saber?

i dunno, but it looks like a predecessor to the EL obi's i seen on ebay before.
that one looks pretty cool with its design.

Artoo made it back in 2003.
Here's a link to the site translated into English via Babelfish:

So in all, do you think it is possible to make a nice EL or now an LED working saber without having a thick emitter neck.

Why do I get the feeling I've seen these at home depot or lowe's?
Yes. I've securely mounted a Hyperdyne blade to the brass neck of a Roman's No.3 and had the rest of the parts machined to accept the electronics and the battery. After I finish my cut-away project, then I'll start working on that saber again.

got any pics of the progress so far?
Here's what I have so far:
The white Hyperdyne supplied nylon tubing is attached to the brass grenade neck. A Roman's "EL ready emitter" is slid over the tube and attached with a set screw. The blue Hyperdyne blade is beside that. In the middle of the picture is the battery container which will eventually be cover by the Graflex clamp. The small PC boards are the sound module and amplifier. The accelerometer will have to be relocated on the PC board so it will fit inside the booster. The Roman's booster and grenade body are at a machinist. He bored a 1" hole through both and they are now awaiting black anodizing. The newer styled plastic AS handwheel will require a little machining to accept the small speaker and grille, and also the battery charger jack. The blade electronics and small vibration motor will mount inside grenade body. Most if not all of the electrical connectors will be removed and the wiring hardwired to save space. I'd like to use one of the "transistors" as the activation switch, but because of space constaints, it may not be possible.

Wow! That's amazing! You've got some of the best build-ups I've ever seen!

Id like to try to do this as well. how deep is the emitter? Is the emitter and neck one solid piece?

That emitter is about 1 1/8" long and is slid over the nylon tubing and secured only to it with a small set screw.
