Nice find.
Curious what your finding for the V2 card. Only thing I've seen that's remotely close is cnc control board for a Bridgeport mill
 
Found a bunch that are really close like this one. I’m pretty sure this company did it,all there cards are similar and have that thicker line at the top like the original.I found some that were all silver,some all gold,some a mix of gold and silver. I think I’m pretty close to finding it,at least I hope I am. I’m fairly confident I’m on the right path and I just gotta keep searching these till I find the right one. I must have looked at 500 of them yesterday.

nice find!

I actually just picked up an ESB Luke card and the flip side has the extra bit of gold on the leads like the Barbican saber, might be a manufacturing thing since fabricating was not a precise thing at the time.

Are there brands or equipment you've found that are more likely to carry these boards?

Coincidentally, the Barbican saber is the Vader ANH stunt, or at least the first one they tried using.

Yea it’s a specific manufacturer that had boards like the one above,there’s a lot of them to go through but they all look the same,the thick line over the edge connectors.some of the edge connectors go right some go left some got a mix of both,I just gotta find the correct one that matches. As far as were the v2 card was from I think I solved that mystery,now I just got to find the exact one it came from. I am hoping to find it soon,I’ve seen a few that were so close I had to run downstairs and grab my replica card and check but one or two lines would be off.

You look closer than me. I was stuck on a board for a Monroe product for a while as my closest.
