Hi T,

I wanted thank you all for the electrical advice/guidance! I'm going to Radio Shack today to see what I can find! :) It stormed ALL night so I wasn't able to get back out and work. Hoping for a better day today

I checked Radio Shack, the local PC repair store and several other places and nobody sells any wall warts. Several places didnt even know what i was referring to... No worries... I'll march forward

I could see that. Looking for a long tail light like that on a pre-77 car. Something that would have been in a scrap yard...

Perhaps from the same Volvo as the instrument cluster left hand in the original cockpit?:rolleyes
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Looking at it again I'm convinced it's not the Volvo. Completely the wrong shape unfortunately.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Or maybe, staying in the 70's, one of those long horizontal ones like this:

Have you tried posting on an automotive board? I'll bet some old mechanic could point you in the right direction. Failing that find a garage that's been around a while and ask the oldest guy there. :) At the very least he may be able to confirm it's a tail/headlight mount.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Sorry to keep posting, feel like I'm hijacking! :lol

From my google searching it looks like it's just the gasket, not the entire housing. Getting some similar shapes (but nothing concrete yet) with google searching: 70s tail light gasket

Gonna try 60s now but based on what I've seen I think we're definitely on the right track.
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

I've been looking on Ebay for "bracket assembly" and I am also seeing some familar shapes but nothing that fits... just yet! I hope we're on the right track... :)

I was going to post to a few forums this evening. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask!
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

The thin piece on the right looks like something would "latch" into place... hmmmmmm
 
Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica

Possibly the inside of the ol'Volvo's pop-up door lock mechanism, having a look.

EDIT: not a pop-up lock mechanism.

That is the problem of replica build.

Propbuilder get that stuff what is laying around in the junkyard, place some part there an one piece here, ready are the greeblies.

If you try to reproduce 100%, you have to find out what random parts was used.... an hunt it on ebay or elsewhere
