Hey everyone, need some help to ID the base of a prop from the TV show Dark Matter. The carry handle on the box seems to remind me of a kids casssete player maybe? It looks so familiar to me, but I can't place it. Anybody have any guesses so I can expand my search?

Never watched this show but I get a kick out of searching for donor parts. I’ve been doing a little searching so far, here are some of the directions I’ve scrolled through:

- Portable tape deck / cassette player
- Portable answering machine
- Portable cd player (more likely than tape, as it looks like that whole front section used to have an opening cover)
- Hot Wheels / Micro Machine carry case
- Portable water color kits
- Vintage “travel” board games

Nothing yet, though. Any other angles of the piece?

Trying to tell if that’s a power switch on the side up by the handle, or if that center bump on the side is a headphone/mic jack. Looks like whatever it was, though, it stands on those bottom pegs and had a shield or cover that would open down toward those pegs. I imagine there was a metal rod in that tiny middle section at the bottom that acted as a hinge for some cover/shield/door.

EDIT: Also been looking through kid‘s tool kits, gardening kits, etc (stuff like this: Microscope Set in Carrying Case - Educational Toys Planet) ( )
