These are definitely the correct parts. I discovered these switches almost two years ago. They look exactly like my avatar picture inside. The version with the "D" shape sticking out the back was used for the communicator on Leia's Hoth costume, but it also is identical to the Fett version if...

For those who still need switches, there's an eBay seller with a whole bunch of the ITT ones. These are SS-22 assemblies which means they are made from one type O and one type SS riveted together. If you remove the 'D' shape protrusion from the SS one you have two useable Fett greeblies cheap...

Yes, they are the tall feet and in pretty nice condition. The screws on the scope feet and knob base are a little rusty, but overall it's in great shape.

Here are the new photos I promised... My Type 3 Rhino scope: Eyepiece detail: I was initially thinking Rhino might be related to Milbro because my early searches for info kept turning up Rhino air pellets made by Milbro. I've since seen other Rhino scopes of various sizes and styles...

There is definitely an ASI brand marking variation. Both of my Type 1 ASI's lack the period after the "I" and it's not wear. The letter spacing is actually different. The "I" is centered directly over the "0" in 4x20. One of them is in like new condition. I will post pictures later. My best...

I agree. The ESB scope appears to be a type 2. I can also confirm that the ROTJ Hero blaster has a type 2 scope as well. The thickness of the eyepiece confirms it. Can you confirm that the type 2 ASI text reads "A.S.I." while the type 1 reads just "A.S.I" (no period after the I)? This seems to...

In this photo it looks to me like a metal strip/plate or possibly wire wrapped between the two bolts to squeeze them together. There's definitely something going straight across.

I had this thought too which is why I had ordered the smaller Maclow clip. It doesn't work that way though. These clips do not bend like that. The front clip is definitely the larger 1 1/4" size (approx 1 5/8" ID). Since the clip is so large, when it's pushed upward it leaves that gap exactly as...

Unfortunately, that's the best reference available for the rear clip. I'm hoping to find it used on other ESB props or sets for a better view, but no luck yet. At least we know enough to positively ID it when we find the correct clip/clamp. Looking again at the clips on the Falcon interior, I...

Sure! They'd be nice to have even just for reference to blueprint accurate ones. Some pictures to illustrate my earlier points... The quarter circles on the rear clamp (taken from a clearer copy of the image Andy referenced above) Rear clamp tabs And here's just a nice shot of the rear...

Sounds like you found the same ones. In pictures I've seen it appears that the quarter circles are on one side only. They are likely measured the same way as the other pipe clips so you'll need 1 1/4" for the smaller one and 1 1/2" for the larger.

Correct, both clamps have the quarter circles in both upper corners. Reference of that area is very limited, but I'm pretty sure it's two tabs coming together in the middle. They're rounded and there's a center hole which I assume is bolted through, but reference is not that clear. I'll post...

I've been doing this same search recently. My moment of clarity came while researching another area of ESB found parts... the Millennium Falcon. I noticed the two sizes of grey pipe clips used in the main hold interior set. There, they are used for their intended purpose - holding pipes to the...

Excellent presentation of info and great photos! This should definitely by "sticky" or even put in the Wiki. I have two Type 1 ASI's, a Type 2 ASI, a Type 3 Hunter and a new one for you... a Type 3 labeled Rhino (which is a Milbro brand).
