Sweet thanks now does anyone know what parts were used I know Munnson has a friend that offers a kit from original parts but I don't want to fork out $200.0 for it thats way to much money
Ho I am going to build one I don't care if is is acurate but I do want the effect that if a trek fan sees it on a prop table he will know exactly wht it is
I made the originals for the show. I wish I would have keep a bunch of rejects I had when I made those. They were very cool. They had a small piston shock inside under pressure of a spring. Once you pushed a button it would release slowly due to the liquid oil inside the piston. I use the kind that you find on RC off road cars.

I also did 5 years of Star Trek TNG. I'm working on a web page with a bunch of props I did on that show too.
