Well that's pretty wonderful! Did you guys happen to find extras? If so please let me know!

There would have been at least one to two more sets from where they came from. But be prepared to pony up. It these came from the first auction these would have been about $500 to $650 a pair or transistors and if it was from the most recent auction, they would have been $350 to $500 a pair.

The cap is missing on that one. It is an optical illusion, like when you can't decide if the box is inside or outside. If the cap would be on, we should be able to see the ring of the plastic ring.
If it would be the cap on then what we would see is the reflection of something that gives those vertical lines. But then those lines should be broken by the ring of the plastic rings. There is no such thing on the photo.
Therefore it is very certain that the cap is missing and we see inside of the handwheel. The part that you have circled must be related to the hook they use to keep the hilt on the belt.

When I made that post I was just starting to look into Obi's saber details. I've read in the lightsaber guidebook something along the lines of "the discussion is still going on if it is a C or H cap" so I didn't at all consider that the cap could be missing.
I'm long since convinced that the cap is missing on this picture and also in the movie.
Roman's FX replica does not have this detail, but if you compare the shot to a real handwheel or a static replica I guess, there's internal step just where it can be seen here:

second this, I very much believe this is correct. I have also seen the alternate version here - a straight sided rim instead of a rounded one seen in the chronicles pics.
Truthfully, I think this saber is a little more interesting. it's been discussed before.. the grenade is assembled with the frag body upside down (and the frags themselves look damaged or worn down) and the emitter is attached to the grenade in a different way. I think the saber used in Tunisia was not the same hilt in its entirety. Maybe a few parts were not allowed to be imported, maybe some parts were lost in transit - who knows if the transistors were the same!
Check out the two little spiders that crawled out of my mailbox today ! I think must be some seriously rare and endangered species ...

Thank you for making this happen (you know who you are
Looks like that pest invasion was spreading ...
I guess it is old news now looking at the date, but I've only recently noticed that Roman props now offers stamped transistors replicas.
Here's what the Campagnolo washers look like installed:
Another interesting found part :
obviously needs some shaving as they are much taller than washers, but they are hollow inside so it will be very easy to do. Being hollow also makes them a good option for FX builds where the transistors are used as buttons (or at least this is what I'm considering using them for).
These are from a Nikon BC flash.

NEAT!! Cool find

The main issue is the point. There’s should be a square top. Take a closer look at the reference material. It might be better to just flip them over.
Being a bicycle part I need these in my life

Why? I just found some for 0.99GBP.
I also got mine from UK for around that much, together with some other stuff and shipping was cheap too. .
I'm not sure what you mean. I'm after some found parts that would look like this with no or minimal modifications (like enlarging the hole so the transistor can fit in):
My idea of ideal washers would be something like this:
I could be wrong on the whole thing (except the transistor diameter), but I have some made from scratch to this spec and they look right to me.
