"Brazil" - "bypass valve on the transformer"

[madmartian]

Has anyone created the "bypass valve on the transformer" from the movie "Brazil" or found behind-the-scenes photos of this prop? I am putting together a Central Services operative costume and want to also create the bypass valve. And no, I can't just blow one out my nostril! Hard to figure out all the parts as the object is not shown that well. I tried to find contact info for the prop masters - George Ball and Gary Dawson - but did not have any luck.

Anyone recognize any of these parts? I will likely start with a hanging pendant bulb socket. Aside from a coax connector and some alligator clips, I'm not sure what to do about the rest.

Sorry I can't be of any help but this is a great project to tackle. One of my favourite movies, look forward to seeing what you come up with.

One of my favourite films!
Hard to tell from the image, but the main body looks like a light fitting, the kind you'd find in a bathroom, with a glass tube/shade sticking out, held in place by the two side screws. That removed - then add a disc of wood that can be held by the screws instead - the disc being the base for long bolts, or rods, going to the upper section, surrounding some kind of old valve, perhaps a car headlight bulb (I went into a Halfords [that's a car spares store if you're not in the UK] and asked for any old ones they had in the bin, as they change them all the time for clients, and they gave me a load for nothing) and top details, some random cable/tubes and what looks like part of one of those bendy inspection torches.
And of course, don't forget to fill out your 27B/6
