TOPIC: Questions about PS Crystal

I'm planning a build that I'd like to start with SF's Prodigal Son Crystal model. I just have some questiions about the details of this model.

If I order the "no electronics" tier, what's in the crystal chamber? I understand it won't be lit. Is the crystal colored or is it clear? If colored, how difficult would it be to replace it? Is it setup so that I can light it myself without much trouble or will I have to do some serious modification to the chamber?

How easy is it to disassemble? I'm basically planning to upgrade this to a full-featured hilt but if it's not easy to take apart, I'll start somewhere else.

Regarding the activation box: will it have all the moving parts as the full-featured model? I understand it won't have a switch or a charging port but will the cover still slide off to reveal the top of the metal box? Will the physical switch parts still be there without the electronic components?

When Ordering Hilts as Initiate Tiers, All Parts are unglued and hand tightened before Shipping. For a PS Hilt (as Thin Necks go) 'normally' it will be 5Pieces (maybe 6) consistent to ASP: Emitter with Thin Neck attached (possible the Emitter Cap is separate to the Thin Neck), Grenade Foregrip (Adapter), Switch with Box, Body, Pommel Cap.

With CR PS, am unsure. The Crystal Chamber 'appears' to be secured internally by either threaded screw with paired Nut or setscrews as it's a moving Part (on the grenade part). SFCS has suggested it's glued which doesn't make sense as this would disable the moving springloaded function. There must be a backdoor for reversed entry to enable access to the LED Module that sits internally on top of the Crystal Chamber. Maybe sending an email to SFCS querying a potential Initiate Tier Purchase will return answers with how that specific Part is assembled. No. The Box will have 'normally' *two switch Holes pre-drilled without covers and the standard moveable Switch Plate Card. No actual switches will be included as the types required will vary depending on Warrior/Champion Setup.

*You may want to enquire further with SFCS as changes may be likely where only one switch hole may be pre-drilled only.

Noted, it mightn't help much but short of disassembling it (which I have no intention on doing any time soon) SFCS have remained elusive with sharing the assembly of the Chamber.
