Hey Friends,
I've started a thread as a definitive measurements guide to all the ANH Obi Wan lightsaber parts. It would be super helpful if I could have you that have real parts chime in on some of the measurements from the drawings I've posted if you have time.

Thanks!!

Ok I bought this already (the rifle rot grenade) and am considering getting the browning and the balance tube. The graflex flash, the clamp I am going to buy assuredly. Would this work? I am going to get the vintage part eventually but I really can't because I am a college student. Thanks again.

In all honesty, none of those parts are very accurate, but if you're on a budget, then you can probably make do with them.
I'm not familiar with the makers of all of those parts but I saw that grenade part listed a while back. (Edit: looks like Saberforge pieces? For the prices of them, you could have some better ones from Roman or used Russrep.) One thing to note is that the parts might not piece together as easily as the real ones do since none of them are based on real parts. You may not be able to run an assembly adapter through them either.

Why would want to cut up an original flash hider?
Can anyone help me out with the correct models of transistors that will work? I'm sure the info is in here somewhere, I'm sorry. I've just had this ONE real transistor someone gave me YEARS ago, and I think it may be a little too tall, but I'm not sure.
I wouldn't mind hunting down some correct transistors for my old Russrep hilt, aside from those and a real clamp, I think I'll likely keep the rest of the parts replicas!
Here's a few photos taken a couple days ago. The transistor I'm talking about isn't attached in these pics, they're just machined replicas.
I did do a little tweaking and refinishing to the entire hilt, though, which is the reason the photos were taken.

There's an old theory that a flash hider was cut down and used as part of a spacer underneath the Graflex clamp. It's not confirmed at all though.
You should give thd9791 a shout. He has (had?) a ton of old transistors that were very close to the right height and size.
Also, the saber looks great!

I was thinking once I have it, to put the thing going out the multiple indentation part into the graflex clamp or if posible take it out. What I have seen on this thread is that you have been using one long elongated screw to finish and strengthen the lightsaber. Is that true? And your own opinion would those things work? ANHSABERS

Is their a center hole in it or not? What I am asking is that how do you put all the pieces together. I have seen images in which you can see one long screw that goes all the way through all the pieces. I think that the Graflex clamp clamps onto the end piece and the grenade thing on the other side, tension from the long screw gives it the tension to remain straight. Is that true?
Those are the ones (TO-5/TO-39, I believe) that many have used for years, but if you look at the Chronicles photos, they look to be too tall. I still need to swap out mine for the shorter canned ones as well.
Gotcha, I reckon that explains why I was given it years back!
It's funny though, after I attached it, I could tell IMMEDIATELY that it was too tall!
