OK, you beat me in that.

But i got a new/another Kobold (don´t know why i still keep buying them :wacko )

Looks like you´re using a Bertby for display, too?

Yes, I recently installed it and build the LED strip in!

I love your lighting. :thumbsup

Mine only has a spotlight directed to it, and while it´s OK, i´m not really impressed.

Might you share more info what you used, and how it´s installed?

It's pretty simple: I got this LED strip lighting with self adhesive backing:

And I still had an adapter lying here to power it.

Ah, Thanks. I thought Ikea might have something new.

Nice displays there. My ESB and wip starkiller v2 just sit on my workbench casually. People who see them often just think they're a miscellaneous real-life tool :lol Only a matter of time before I spill tea on them.

My unconverted graflex is in the wardrobe, wrapped in bubble wrap and in a diploma tube haha

But such happens - my wife was once asked by her (slighly disturbed looking) friends at a ladies evening in our house why i have a collection of curling irons on display. :facepalm

I had a thought that the reason why the plating on the Wired saber has a bit more of a gold tone could be because it's off of an Icons saber.

Dan

I wondered the same thing, as many Icons Graflex's have turned really dark grey.

Where should I get my conversion kit now??? I use to buy Blastech kits but I don't want rubber grips, I'd rather have plastic. Any one stop shopping??

I have been looking quite a while for hex screws of this kind, since there is a rumor they were used for the kobold on the OT ESB saber.

I didn't know these were available in this size. I think I'll order some...

The T-track appears to have a different profile.

True. They appear to have a shorter and a more square looking rib.

Yeah, the taper of the rib is nearly non-existent. I didn't even notice they appear shorter but they do now that you mention it.

The bases also seem to match the curvature of the flash, vs. the more or less straight ones with an adhesive channel from the OT.
