I Survive through the Force.

I learned to solder two wires together that I didn't need and then use a blank circuit board to learn how to solder onto a board.

I was taught to solder the "real old school" way. I was given a sheet of Breadboard (a sheet of plastic perforated with holes used in hobby kits if you couldn't make printed circuit boards) and the board had 2500 holes. I had to put a terminal pin in each hole and solder it in place on the reverse side. All 2500 had to be done perfect before I was even given a wire or resistor to solder.

When I progressed to solder wires I had to use solid solder and a tub of Flux as cored solder wasn't that common 27 years ago  Grin. It's a bit easier nowadays.

I’m sure I could do the electronics with the right tools.  Might enjoy doing that at some point. Right now I’m fine with some sound sabers and stunt sabers. I’m actually fine with stunt sabers. Sound for the movie based hilts though. Keep the variety nicely balanced  Smiley

My first saber with sound, I decided that I wanted sound in everyone until I started spinning. I know have sabers with sound for cosplay, playing around and lighting spinning.  My main spinning sabers are stunt since it's cheaper to fix a stunt than it is to fix a saber with sound when you break stuff off of it.

I've only ever bought three sabers with sound from Ultrasabers, and won another in a raffle. Yet, several of my sabers have sound. Wink

I feel you @OP. I'm waiting for the next raffle to order my Bellicose in TRI arctic blue and Sentinel v5 in Sentinel yellow. If it were up to me, I'd buy a sound saber right now but I'd rather commission a custom hilt (roughly same price as an US with basic/premium sound) with sound from another site so I can have a unique one for myself.
