Vintage Graflex vs. Parks
« on: April 21, 2015, 01:08:44 PM »
Just so I can clarify this: What is the difference between a vintage Graflex and a Parks Graflex reissue?

Thanks in advance.

A vintage is an original camera flash that will show it's age, while the Parks is a brand new replica.

Keep in mind the new run is not going to be an exact Replica.  It is a kit which will allow you to create likenesses of the ANH, ESB and TFA Graflex hilts.

Right Luminara. A very nice kit though. You can't beat it making 3 possible sabers from it! I really like the look of it.  :)

It is a very nice kit.  I just wanted to clarify that this will be a different animal from the Parks Replica Flash guns of the past which were replicas of the actual Graflex Flashgun.  These will not function exactly the same and the dimensions will be slightly different particularly internally.

I'm assuming these won't be able to house electronics unless modified, correct?

No, they're designed for electronics, AFAIK.

Korbanth/Parks Graflex v2.0 is designed to be a saber kit, NOT a graflex replica flashgun. They have changed parts of the design, internal and how it assembles, so it is easier to install lightsaber electronics into.

The Parks Graflex (v1.0) which he isn't making anymore is a replica Graflex Flashgun.

That is sad to here. There is just something special about the nickle plated brass. An aluminum version will just not be the same. IMO.

Romans is doing a Replica Flashgun. Aiming for 100% accurate, but I'm not sure what it's made of...

There is one in the works from one of our SABER Guild Members also.  There will probably be an announcement fairly soon.
