This has been on my list for a long time. And there's been a couple lovely builds here over the years. So, I'm diving in on mine finally.
Some quick images of the screen accurate pack
I was quickly able to acquire the two Electrolux Model 30 vacuum cleaners. Both for under $100. One in really clean condition. And one that was used to vacuum a bar for 50 years (gross). It took a bit to sort our exactly what parts to keep and what to discard.
I number of the parts will be modeled and 3D printed on my Saturn printer. Appropriately, the central "Saturn" hub was printed. I looked into the accurate 1950s Oldsmobile horn button, but decided to create my own.
For the Fire extinguishers I ordered a couple feet of 6" thin wall PVC. Fair warning, this doesn't measure to an exact 6" diameter. More like 6-3/8" OD. For the tops of the extinguishers I could some shallow plastic bowls at Walmart. They we a tint bit too large to I used them as a mold to cast some resin shapes from the inside, which created a decent size.
It seems this build is going to be a mix of authentic parts, other found parts and 3D modeled parts.
Stay tuned.
