REPLICA GRAFLEX SABER

 
Like many other Star Wars fans I am on the eternal quest for a Graflex 3-Cell Flash Handle. In the meantime I decided to make my own. (Any real Jedi constructs his own anyway.)
 
Replica GRAFLEX Saber
This lightsaber is an attempt to replicate the exact Saber that Luke used in ANH & ESB. It is all metal, constructed from chromed plumbing tube and many other parts, moreover it is FULLY FUNCTIONAL - (except for the blade of course, damn reality!).

Features

  • Full sound - blade opening, closing, humming, clashing, etc.
  • Beam Emitter - prefocused flashlight bulb. (corresponds to the blade sounds).
  • Correct Grips
  • Belt Clip
  • Runs on 2 "AAA" batteries

  This Lightsaber was constructed on a budget. The parts can be purchased at Radio Shack, Home Depot or Lowes, and any Toy store. Anyone with a few tools, some patience and a heap of dilligence can do the same. (The average cost of this project is, Functional: $72.62 Non-Functional: $25.00.) I DO NOT SELL ANY!
