Hi everyone, I have a topic I'd like to discuss.
Does anyone know, or can anyone confirm any details of the control box on Luke's machined lightsaber? I'm especially curious on it's state in Yuma and then for the close-up shot, neither of which match the details today. Did the black buttons come from a piece of audio equipment? or are they the same piece of metal that used to be the fake lever, chopped and with a groove added? I also have a feeling the brass sidebars were painted copper later on.
Yuma
lever appears to be same height as sidebars, no step down.
Close-up (Thanks to Chaim for this shot, confirming the black buttons this early on)

The box doesn't appear to be off center! is it the same one as today? was right angle stock this small readily available in copper or brass?
Today
What's that crud above the buttons? Brass underneath the copper paint? The card seems to match, which means most likely this is the original card, but the close-ups all appear to be brass...
Thanks for chatting even though this is such an old topic!
