I just received some very nice colored domes and control knobs from an ebay purchase and would like to build a replica of the computer used on the tv show Star Trek, does anyone here have the dimensions to this prop? please help!
It has made me try to think of what I could put in it so I can justify building one. Hmm, maybe make a scale version. I need to add that to my ideas list.
That is looking good. Yes, those are the "Beta" knobs. The "Alpha" version had black knobs with a tiny white arrow on them. They were actually the same computer; "Alpha" was rebuilt into "Beta" after damage from the explosion at the end of the episode "A Taste of Armageddon."
It's interesting how the front always appears flatter in photos than it really is.
Here is the "Alpha" version:
Here is the demise of the "Alpha" version (on top right of the large console)
necropost - quick question - where is everyone getting the lights and knobs for thiers? i have a cabinet built , looking for stuff to fill it , it will be a static prop so no need for driver boards, ect, just for display in an office
