I briefly viewed the exploded view.. if I decide to take the saber apart I'll study it further. The portions I polished were easy enough that disassembly wasn't necessary, but I agree to do the whole thing it would be helpful. I don't plan on polishing any of the black areas though, but I am on the fence about polishing the orange ring under the emitter. I'll probably just leave it alone, but somewhat curious how that would look.
