Hey guys, I have been slowly collecting a few props from my favourite Television show, "Seaquest DSV". It was the first show I fell in love when I was a little kid and I loved the whole science fiction style of the show and now that Im alot older I relies I could actually acquire props and items from the show to display at home some I would have a little piece Seaquest history. So here is what I've collected so far.
My first prop was this working electric gadget called a "CGO Remote Control Scanner" which I purchased from Intergalactic Trading Company. It has working LED lights, as well as moving toggle switches and dials. From what I can tell about this particluar prop is it must have been a backup prop to the actual screen used prop seen in the season 3 episode "Second Chance". I say this becuase the screen used version looks a little different to my scanner but it still looks cool to me.

In this screenshot from the episode I listed before, you can see the screenused prop differences to my prop and if anyone knows what my prop could have been used for, please let me know.
Then a few months later I noticed a few members mention a online store call "ThePropStore" and so i decided to have a look and see what they had. After much pondering I decided buy my next Seaquest prop
. Its called a Data Feedback Modulator and this metal prop is the biggest piece in my collection. Its quiet heavy definitely custom fabricated for the show. It has a few moving parts and a label detailing information and serial numbers to give it an authentic look. The auction tag listed this prop being used in the 3rd season episode "Reunion".

I managed to spot the module for a few seconds in the episode, here is screenshot. You can just see it being held by an extra in the background.
The next item I found on Ebay, its an original Seaquest crew ballcap. its a little faded and needs a wash but that didn't stop me from putting it on the day I got it and boy did I feel like I was in the show lol.
A few months later I found another store which I had read about on this forum called "screenused" and one day while randomly looking at props, I noticed this peice which I also brought. It is a resignation letter which is an unsigned backup to the actual screen used version which had Nathan Bridgers (Roy Scheider) signature on it. The letter also came with a matching envelop.
And lastly my latest purchase. Its an original UEO Ensign patch used in the show. This patch was situated on the right hand shoulder of a UEO officer's uniform and displayed his rank to other UEO personnel.
The patch came with a separate rear piece which im guessing was originally sewed to the back of the patch to allow for a velcro type attachment to the costume.
Here is a a comparison of the original patch next to a replica patch, I brought from "SciFicGeeks.com" and you can see the difference in colour and the embroidering easily.
I am still working out how Im going to display all these items at home. I am thinking of something simple like custom wall frames for the letter/envelop and the Shoulder patch, but Im unsure what to do with the bigger props.
let me know what you think guys:confused
