Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

OK
I figured out how to remove the batteries for the light.
1 was bad,1 was starting to show signs of breakdown and the 3rd was fine.
I just hope the white stuff,whatever it is doesn't hurt the light up feature!

Cleaning Alkaline Battery Corrosion

Thanks for the tip.

Does anyone know what type of batteries are used for the light up function?
Is there a battery type?

 

[DeadLeaves]

Look at the battery. Amazingly, they have the type marked on them.

 

[DarthTrafford]

Does anyone else have a switch like this in their Probe Droid?
Mine actually has no switch,I wonder if they made it like this on purpose or is mine a defect?

 

[TonTon]

No switches on mine or anyone else I think

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Nope. No switch on mine either.

 

[Pixelpiper]

The piece of plastic may be generic and used on other products that may have a switch or, the switch may have been deleted in a design revision prior to manufacturing.

A nice custom plaque joined the Probot:

 

[Aliaz]

Nice! Where did you get that?

 

[Darth Madden]

That's pretty cool.

 

[DarthTrafford]

OK
I know this has been asked 100 times.
What's the measurement of the rod if we want to replace it with a clear one?

3/8” diameter 12” long

3/8” diameter 12” long

Thanks.
I've looked at Home Depot, 2 Michael's and A.C. Moore
None of them have anything like that.
They have wooden dowels in those sizes though.
LOL

Look on eBay.... That's where I got mine

 

[DarthTrafford]

I would but I don't have an eBay account.

 

[TonTon]

I bought a 5-pack but sent out all my extras. Someone must have one leftover.

 

[DarthTrafford]

If anyone has an extra rod they'd like to give away,send me a PM.

I guess I could be a nice guy and let one go since I got the 5 pack as well.

I bought a 5 pack too, and I would, but I don't live in the US where they are at the moment.
