Julien’s Upcoming Hero Phaser & Communicator Auction

So the timeline for the heroes in "Dagger of the Mind"

8/09/66 - Van Gelder on the bridge with the Conscience / Lenore / Riley
8/12/66 - Scene in the main power chamber with the Conscience / Lenore / Riley
8/16/66 - Kirks guest quarters with the Conscience / Lenore / Riley
8/17/66 - The treatment chamber with 3 heroes including the Conscience / Lenore / Riley

Unfortunately, the three heroes are too distant to see many details but the short emitter of the Conscience / Lenore / Riley is visible.
 
Gotta love the mids...

There’s a certain irony in that the heroes are the design everyone thinks of when they think of TOS phasers, yet the midgrades are much closer to the original intent, without the clunkier rear fins, the thinner trigger boxes, etc.
Well the mids are the prop that is the idea phaser and almost a work of art.

I have always liked them mainly because they look stream lined...

It just shows they found a perfect balance
 
I think someone (Will) should designate these heros with names similar to the two hero comms being called Alpha and Beta. I sometimes get a little confused with Lenore ,Riley, etc..
While it may be easier to remember with a simpler naming system.

Implementing a new system and actually getting folks to use it is a very big issue.

It also opens up a new area where folks could introduce forgeries.....
 
These are the name I have been using while documenting them myself:

01 - Conscience / Lenore / Riley
02 - Greg Jein
03 - TMOST / Finney
04 - Nona

I have hesitated to rename them because these names have been attached to some of them for decades. I am in the process of completing a document that identifies them (where possible), the dates they were filmed and the unique features of each. I am only at this time concentrating on the period between "Dagger of the Mind" and "This Side of Paradise" which is the interim period between when Wah converted them to the grays and when the mid-grades showed up in "Devil in the Dark." It has been extremely interesting and enlightening. I will of course share when I am finished.

01 - Conscience / Lenore / Riley (That's pretty clear)
02 - Greg Jein (But which episodes/characters used it?)
03 - TMOST / Finney (Don't Forget Cloud Minders)
04 - Nona (Just the P1?...)

Simply adding numbers to the existing names like you have done is more than adequate.
 
That was my thinking as well. I could name the GJ the Greg Jein / Shore Leave but I did not. The Nona P2 is named that because the P2 has the Nona P1 and the only episode I have been able to find it in is the Galileo Seven and in an outtake photo so it is pretty elusive.

Will start a new discussion thread so we can talk about them without hijacking this awesome thread.
