So, based on Don Posts statue from years and years ago, we have all believed Fett's last shin tool (the only one which hasn't been found at this point), the "jet pack adjustment tool" looked something like this:
However, after a lot of hard work by Wes, we no longer believe this to be the case. Wes has found a vintage microphone that is VERY close to matching the tool we see barely peeking out of Fett's pocket... the only real difference being that the lip of the mic Wes found is slightly beveled where the original is flat. I just bought a couple of these off eBay to verify that they are very close but not quite correct and we thought we would throw it out here to you guys to see if you could help with the search!
The mic Wes found (and I will be more than content using until the correct model is identified) is a vintage Shure 530 omnidirectional microphone.
The mic has been gutted and the bottom removed. It is super light weight and matches up nicely to the photos (what little we can see) except for the aforementioned slight bevel. This tool is seen on the Preproduction #1, Preproduction #2, Preproduction #3, and ESB suit (during the Executor Bridge scenes, but is missing in the Carbon Chamber scenes).
Since we haven't been able to ID it positively but feel that Wes has gotten us really close, we thought we would throw it out to you guys and see what you can do with it!
Good luck, good hunting, and a big thanks to Wes for letting us make this info available!!!
