Hi chaps,
New member here - and by chance, Mat Irvine has just held an exhibition in the village hall near his home near Milton Keynes, and he's got his B7 props on display, including Orac and what's left of the original large Liberator...
Mat has his own
website, with a public email link (scroll down to the bottom of the homepage). I've mailed him before about things, and he's replied pretty quickly. If you asked him for Orac's dimensions, it wouldn't surprise me if he'd be happy to oblige - can't hurt to ask, anyway. He also owns a Liberator gun, a bracelet and a Federation trooper gun.
FWIW, Orac is now in a much better state than he used to be. Some friends and I interviewed Mat at his home 20 years ago, and we persuaded him to dig Orac out of his garage - the prop was in a very poor state, covered in dust, with cracked panels and with few of the components fixed together. The activator key was long gone even then. At the time, Mat showed little interest in refurbishing him, but obviously he changed his mind! I don't know if he's gone as far as making him electronically functional again though, I would suspect not.
Here are some of the photos from that visit, giving a sense of how poor Orac's condition was. The last photo shows where some of the cracks were patched with black tape, and you can also see the DIN socket that was used to connect a simple on/off remote control when the story called for Orac to power up or down without anyone using the key (which I think most people know really did turn the prop on and off - it was just a simple magnet controlling a reed switch).
