Hi All,

I purchased an empty Graflex CE hilt from US with the intent to built it myself.  After some struggles on my own with the heat sink, US helped by installing the right MSH module in the hilt.  Great customer service from US.

So with an empty hilt in hand, I performed my first install.  It includes:
- Blue Single LED with white FOC
- Obsidian v4 sound board
- Illuminated Blue AV switch
- Li-ION setup.

I love it.  The saber sounds great and looks fantastic.  THanks again to US for the help and to those who posted help a while back when I had questions.  Here are some pictures.

Well done!

I have a Graflex CE myself and love it.

Great job, +1.

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

Hey captriker,

Wow, a Graflex CE!  Awesome saber, and bulit yourself too.

That's something I'm not sure I'd ever try. Smiley

Great work on wiring together your own Graflex!
I don't mind doing little mods to my sabres, but wouldn't be confident enough to wire together my own sabre from scratch!
