Julien’s Hero Phaser & Communicator Images

So as not to lose new image links in the middle of other threads I thought I'd start a new one for the pre-restoration images.

I will add the Comm shortly.

For me the big revelation is the brass pins for reinforcing the connection between the grip and the P2. We've seen these holes in the bottom of the original Greg Jein phaser but not the pins themselves.

It seems the pins would have to be inserted from inside the p2 body, with the p2 body half shell still off, after the grip was twist-locked to the phaser. Cumbersome, but it explains how they were able to put up with those lamp plugs, which otherwise are too floppy to be reliable.

—EDIT: moved to the discussing thread as this thread should probably be maintained a “pictures only” archive, I suppose

Hey!! Picture 14 is missing from the P2 photos

Great pics, thanks for sharing them with us. What a wonderful thing seeing the TMOST phaser after all these years.

Eagerly awaiting the images of the Beta Communicator

Are there any head on views of the phaser 1, showing the emitter box and/or rear views? These particular angles have yet to be seen.

Great images so far

Thanks very much indeed for doing this, newworld - it's greatly appreciated!

Many have waited decades to see these images.

I'd have loved it if there was a color checker reference in one of these shots as they *seem* to have a slight florescent-greenish cast. (Pro photog here.) Now that the pieces have been sold, I wonder if any of us will ever see them again?

FWIW, specifically the handle’s true color has a distinct greenish note. I’m an art director/designer so I deal with color all the time. A CC card would have been nice but I wasn’t present at the shoot. FWIW2, because of the nature of auctions, Julien’s tries to get things as neutral as possible.
