No real update but I think I confirmed that the “telex” intercom we can’t identify definitely does have an earpiece on the side. It was hard to tell at first. At the roughly 24-minute mark, just before Peter Lorre pulls a gun on Spade, he gets a buzz and Effie asks if she can go home. I just...

if I ever find the time, my plan is to turn this model into a game in the Unreal Engine, and the object would be simply to turn the place upside down looking for the bird. Pull the drawers out, scatter the papers, knock things over- just for fun. There would be an opening line of dialogue "go...

the back wall alignment issues are so odd. I'm not entirely sure I buy the official story that Lucas wanted a smaller cockpit, if for no other reason than that it doesn't even make the cockpit that much smaller. So is it just an error in assembly that got overlooked? Maybe they had to move it...

well, he doesn't reorganize, Effie does. Which is actually kind of impressive. In the time it takes Spade to go to Wonderly/O'Shaughnessy's apartment, chew her out, and return to the office; Effie has had the movers take out Archer's desk and chair, swapped the floor safe and the filing cabinet...

ah, gotcha. Are we looking at different things? I think big unit might actually be the back of the RCA Victor Radio?

I'm seem to be missing it, which picture is it in?

go for it! I would love to see this one solved.

something like this maybe...

yeah, I'd say there's something there on the left side. Handset or earpiece maybe? curiouser and curiouser...

huh! good catch. It very well might be something on the side of it, I can't really see it being any of the other objects on the desk... hmm.

heh, got it! It was on the desk in some of the stills, but up on the box of index cards to save the brim, I shoulda been more careful with it!

Thanks! heh I'm a purist, the dingus was only ever in the office in that bundle. But really, I've thought about having a bundle on the desk with the beak or head peeking out. Feels like the bird itself has as many details to get right as the office, and better sculptors than I haven't tackled...

got a couple more items done today...
