Best source for working Mark IX/X Tricorder?

[Jedi2016]

So I might actually be able to buy me a tricorder in a week or so.

What's the best place/person/entity to get a DS9/Voyager Mark IX/X Science tricorder with all the bells and whistles? Or, more specifically, just the blinky lights.. I could give a rat's ass about sound.

I know there were a few private ventures back in the day (and I really mean BACK in the day.. RPF V1.0, see my join date.. hehe), maybe still are, I dunno. Been outta the game for a while. There's also the Roddenberry kits, which tallies up to about what I want to pay (kit + electronics, around $450 or so). That's bad news and good news... the bad news is, I suck at buildups. The good news is that the only buildup I've ever been happy with was a Rodd.com kit. The other bad news is I have no info about the Rodd.com tricorder kit, and the electronics are brand new product (I think), so I doubt anyone has any impressions of it yet? Hell, I was reminded about my tricorder quest by today's email newsletter from Rodd.com that mentioned the new electronics kits.

Or, if anyone has one they'd be willing to part with...

Surely someone on this board has a tricorder?

You can always look at Rod.com for a tricorder and lights combo. Or you could contact GMProps about a set. There are also a few other people out there that could make the tricorder but most of those names are associated as being recasters.

MR is scheduled to release a Mark IX... or maybe the MX... not sure which.

That presupposes that MR manages to keep its license w/ Viacom, of course :lol

What about Comm10? He's done a number of MkX's for me, and I've always been very pleased with his work.

Why don't you have Rod.com do a build-up for you.

While I have not seen their electronics, they supposedly done by the people who did them for the show so they should be top-notch.
