Yeah, don't they look like they were made to be lightsabers? They look so cool.

Congrats man.  Yes the graflex is the top of the game.  I don't think we have a King of Parts Graflex review.  I would be interested to hear what your thoughts are on the over all appearance, craftsmanship etc.  I would assume the parts will fit the graflex shop parts but that would also be nice to know.  As I recall Kof P's hilts are a very very good deal $$$ wise, compared to a Parks with blast tech conversion kit.  I might build one for a buddy and I would love to know how his stack up against a Parks.

This def deserves a US 2.0 or a CF board.  ;)

Hey guys, while we're talking different sabers there is a guy on ebay( jimfred ) who sells ALOT!!
of replica Graflex 3 cells. Just do a search and he usually has 2 per week for a very
good price. So has anyone bought a "jimfred" Graflex and are they as good as parks?

Note : they have no grips or blade sockets you can actually use these as flashes for cameras.

I bought mine from him about a month ago and it is FANTASTIC! It's a replica, and it's beautiful. I'm waiting for my soundboard to go full bore on construction, but I highly recommend jimfred.

Thanks Anceem,  I just received mine in the mail ;D and I love it!!
but one question. Did your rabbit ears on the emitter seem VERY loose. and if they were
how did you tighten them up? I thought there was a thread at one time but I can't find it.



*See,  there's this thing called a "modify" button,  that let's you edit the content of your post...... ;) -QGJ

The rabbit ears should move freely side to side.  Once you have a blade in there everything should be nice and tight.  Unless you are talkign up and down travel at the hinge point in which case you could get a few small thin washers as shims but I doubt you would need that.
