Inside a forgotten box, pointed out by the store owner, he found some flashguns for Graflex \"Speed Graphics\" Cameras, and instantly knew he had found it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe bought the lot and raced back to the studios, into his set decorating room where he kept all kinds of things. He took 7 pieces of some black T-shaped plastic strips and put them on the flashgun as handles. In the clamp, he put a bubble strip from a calculator he had broken down, a Texas Instruments Exactra 19 from 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen he handed it to George Lucas, he just held it… And smiled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis hilt has been beautifully created using both original and modern manufacturing methods. The Graflex flashgun parts are plated brass, true to the original, and the blade holder is anodised black CNC machined aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWe have ensured that this kit is designed for installs in mind. It features a 1” blade holder with a slotted screw blade retention method. The red button is a spring-loaded plunger. The internal blade holder allows for 2 PCB mounted switches. The secondary switch is incorporated as a push-button on the slide tab. The lower tube has discrete sound venting ensuring the entire stamp is intact. The blade holder also features retention screws so users can benefit from a retention solution if designing their own chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAn overview video of the kit can be watched \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TILDW_Z5UD0\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf you choose ANH or ESB accessories, please note that these items are supplied separately and are not installed onto the hilt. Installation may be offered in the future or on a case-by-case basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor the application of the grips or belt accessory, we recommend using a 3D printed grip guide or template for this.
