Star Trek TOS Computer Lens Caps?

[Tarkon]

Hi!

I've seen old posts on here about someone being able to source the lens covers for the lights on the old TOS computer displays. Does anyone know of a source for these?

Thanks!

Got any pictures of which ones you mean?

Those are not “covers”, per se. They are cast resin pieces that the lights shine through.

Today they use resin pieces but back in '66 they were indeed bulb covers.

If they were, indeed, true lenses, search for 1/4 Mini Bayonet Beehive Lenses.

Hmm... sorry, I haven't seen that style. I was thinking of the ones on Kirk's chair.
Those look like balls.

They aren’t balls. They are same ones I use on my TOS Logbook.

They look like this in profile:

Ah, must have been a trick of the light.

Yes, it will make things go. Just don’t use it to activate your crimson force field.
