Sithslayer1 sent me his OBI previously converted by VV. They did a great conversion but he wanted better sound than stock. We were going to go with a PC but eventually decided on a CF 5.10.
The aux button is in the crown and the red slide button was kept for the main power.
4 accent LEDs. 1 in the bike valve and 3 in the pommel.
I powder coated the emitter because it was slightly scratched up.
Power is supplied by 2 14650s
10W blue with FoC (tm)
Fonts by Madcow and Novastar
boots by Dark Navel

Here is the speaker mount I made that has the TCSS insert on it for the recharge port. I also have accent LEDs in the 3 holes (only 1 at the time of photo...more added later). My low profile kill key fits in there with the pommel screwed on.

spiffy conversion! Well done

Look's good MH 8)

I am very happy MH posted these pics, his work deserves it! This turned out to be a fantastic upgrade by Michael. The blade is a beautiful, bright Blue that really puts a P4 Blue to shame even before the FoC is engaged. The sound is very loud and crisp and the powdercoating and accent led's in the hemi and pommel add a very nice touch, turning this into a very special Hasbro Obi TPM, one of the best ever converted IMO! The blade he made for me is a TCSS White Trans thin wall with pointed tip and it's a very evenly lit blade with lit tip. MIchael turned a Hasbro Obi into a real gem for me and his work and communication are top notch! He really encouraged my input and made me feel as though I was part of the process. He also paired my font selection with the great bootups I requested from Dark Navel (who is a Great Bootup maker!) I just got my Genesis curved Bane #9 and the Obi is getting equal play time, believe me, Lol!
She may not be a Master Yoda Negotiator or a Ace Rocket Obi, but I am Very happy with her! Thank you again Michael!

As always, thanks for the kind words sithslayer. ;D The fonts you choose are always fun to make but also hard to find in some cases.

I appreciate your excellent work and the time you put in, Dark Navel! Your bootups really add character to these sabers!
