Could you rig something like the TOS Communicator toy? You push the center button, close the lid, and a couple seconds later the 'hailing' beep plays until you flip it open.

You could use a 555 timer and even use the middle knob to control the amount delay

On the top cover, that's paint. Acetone takes it right off. On the bottom, the hallmark is very tiny.

Thank you.

BTW I am still trying to find a screen. So far the clock kit seems to be the only alternative, but I hate spend so much on cheap clock.:unsure

I'm lucky enough to be close to a store called "American Science and Surplus" where they had a nice telescope lens that worked perfectly and it was only $3!

I *think* it's the one listed on this page under Double Convexity:

Turned out really nice.:thumbsup


I'm wondering where my plate is, the USPS tracking site said it was out on delivery Saturday and it still hasn't shown up, my mail was just delivered a minute ago and still no joy.:angry

It showed up last night.
Found it in the box this afternoon when I got home.

My neighbor said he saw the truck return last night after 4pm.
I must have been the kitchen when it happened.

The fill in drivers can't seem to get their act together.

Any interest in a small run of clear 3" lenses? There would be a lip on the backside (like the tap light) so you just drop it in place. I need 15 people to make it happen. Would cost
around $8 shipped in the US.

I went to this art store where they sold cheap trinkets in the back (plastic alarm clocks, desk lamps, etc)....One of the alarm clocks was 4 bucks so i picked it up...THe lens was a pretty good match, so I used it.

Did anyone find a reliable source for the button.
The places I looked at are out of stock or you have to contact them for a price quote.

Re: Warehouse 13 Prop Research - The Farnsworth

Are you guys mounting the left and middle knob to actual dials, or attaching them another way? I just realized all I have are knobs and no 'posts'... :rolleyes so I thought I'd ask... (Sorry if it's mentioned in the thread somewhere, it's gotten kind of large...)
