Build: Luke Macrobinoculars (ANH Hero)

Not sure where you guys are finding all these, my hat goes off to you! I’d like to buy one of these if someone is game, PM me with info and price. Thanks

Looks like a match for my NOS part:

I still see wound copper around the terminals instead of circuit board. It looks kinda lumpy in the reference like wound copper would be. I hope we can find more of these!

I think the "wound copper" around the male terminals may simply be something the prop guys added. I see the thin copper wire, too, on the original prop pics.

I think the "female" plug-in's I have on the way may have the same green end in them as Veektohr's picture above.

To go along with Seneca, could the prop guys have cut the board off VERY close around the edges of the pins instead of soldering them out?

Kinda looks like it to me, now, instead of copper wire!!! Maybe that's the thickness of the board itself that we see in this picture???

The board depth into the pins looks correct, too, in the picture below... IMO!

So I'm just brainstorming, need to see other female plugs but what if the board was just cut out like this..View attachment 775156 (if all the female jacks are attached to a board I don't see them taking the time to unsolder it) paint it black Then wrap copper wire around the pins like so. View attachment 775163 I'm sure this is wrong. Like I said just brainstorming.
Can you please post the last pic with out the drawing thats on it?
Thank you ☺

Reason I think that maybe there is no copper wire is bc there seems to be a gap in copper color about 3/4 of the way up. The direction of wrapping would also be going the wrong way if we wrap the pin posts. If it is wrapped it would have to look like how trooper has it on his resin cast one not in the direction we would have to wrap the pin posts. The gap is really throwing me off.
 
Got the board cut and the other parts painted. Think what we really need is this fully encompassing metal housing for the female jack.IMG_9651.JPG

Boom! You're making a PCB believer outta me with these photos... but now what if you wrapped the leads behind the PCB with some copper wire? On the reference, you can't see any space between the leads behind the PCB like we can on your shots. I keep going back & forth. Other than that... Can't believe how far we've come in one week :D So flippin' cool.

I agree we need that full enclosure for the female port!

Yes it is very cool. This group of guys is great! I have to run out the door but when I get back ill wrap some wire around the pins to see how it looks.
