So Ive recently changed jobs. Some of you may remember that I worked in the Airsoft industry. Obviously having a job like that lends itself to being a great place for prop collector. Well I work in the Preowned Medical Equipment Field now which is needless to say, a bit less awesome.
Anyway, we have a lot of dinosaurs come through our warehouse from time to time and some of this stuff looks perfect for medical labs, secret lairs and Pseudo scientific psychologist offices.
As a kid i always wanted to know that the hell that orange thing in Peter Venkman's office was. you can also see it later when they get expelled, as the coolest dude on campus wheels it out of the room whilst jamming to his Walkman.
It turns out that this thing is the console from a MEDRAD MARK IV Angiographic Injector.
We dont have a Mark IV here but we do have a MARK V which is different but has similar markings that i recognized.
Its kinda neat as this device is used to inject ink into your brain, or other venous organ, that can been seen through imaging equipment like an MRI or XRAY. so It actually make since that a Psychologist could use it in some aspect.
I often joke with my wife that with my previous job I had learned so much about the guns of the world that I could identify most screen used firearms. It appears now, with my new occupation, I may be calling out the medical gear in the movies and TV shows we watch. I dont think she really cares
Considering the length that RPF members go to in order to recreate movie sets and collect and replicate props, this may be useful for someone looking to collect Ghostbusters stuff.
