Star Trek M-5 "The Ultimate Computer"

[daltman1967]

Does anyone out there have any pictures, diagrams, measurements, blueprints, etc., etc., etc. of the M-5? I'm really interested in doing a fully functional, full-size build of this prop, and I'd like to do it right. Anything at all is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Looking forward to this one.

Another great performance by Jimmy Doohan

I imagine from the pics of Leonard Nimoy (6'-1") and William Shatner (5'-9") standing next to the computer on-set you can get an idea of scale. From what I saw at trekcore.com, this was the best shot of the computer itself:

I seem to remember it being very similar to the computer used in the episode "Assignment: Earth". It might even be the same one, or comprised of re-purposed parts.
