Dark Knight Ferry Detonator Remote parts found
- Thread starter itsalive
- Start date
The blue box/whatever it is on the front part is also a Velleman part. Cheapest kit I found that had one of these blue boxes on the circuit board was the
Vellman MK138: Theromostat
Price $8.29
Looks like this is just a standard relay. Closest match I could track down was a French manufacturer - all the relays at Digi-Key didn't have the correct lettering. Might be cheaper than getting the entire kit?

To be movie accurate- You'll have to remove the white design on the far lefthand side of it. Nail polish remover might work.
Pretty sure the Antenna is from a walkie talkie brand like Motorola.
Keys are on threaded bolts- Wish we could figure out the exact makes of those.
the LED lights on the Decision Maker are to small to match the ones seen on the front part.
You'll need to go and get the
Valleman MK152 WHEEL OF FORTUNE
for those LED's.

Have fun! And if you find the make of the Key, Antenna, or any other gribleys please share the info here.
I think the jokers was rocking the same stuff only difference was a change in wire set up/lights/ and component layout and an extra key for both ships.
Regarding the LEDs, I think they were a modification of the MK105 SIGNAL GENERATOR. Note the screen capture and the image of the kit. It looks like the orange ceramic disk capacitors at C5 and C6 (next to the black screw) were not installed, with the LEDs mounted there instead. That probably allowed the prop-makers to wire the green LED to the key-switch.
Since the batteries are sandwiched in between the two boards along with the key switch, it would be pretty easy to sneak in some wiring and voltage/current limiting resistors to activate the LEDs.
