This is also known as the "alternate" medical or "Spock" scanner that can be seen in these episodes:
A private Little War (Medical Scanner) (Used briefly at the beginning of the episode on Spock)
The Ultimate Computer (Sciences Scanner) (Used briefly near the middle of the episode to analyze the M9 equipment)
I thought this might be something fun to put together, since these are not currently available anywhere.
If you're interested in getting one, just post a reply.
I think a color wheel with a motor is over doing it, so I will be using a RGB LED instead.
This will be a limited run and I do not have any intention of doing any more runs in the future.
I've created a research thread here:
Star Trek TOS Science Tricorder Scanner
I was watching the episode, "The Ultimate Computer" last night and noticed the "science" or "alternate" Tricorder scanner Dr. Daystrom was using. I have the Diamond Select version and I was surprised at how accurate the electronics are compared to the original prop. Since it's basically...www.therpf.com
Latest update (5/8/22): I am happy to say that the prototype is finally finished and I have updated the price list below. Next week I will finish up the second prototype and will begin working on the run of parts. The run will take about 4 weeks to complete.
As time permits, I will be contacting everyone on the interest list to make sure that they want to remain on the list (which will now become the "waiting list") so I get a better idea of the number of parts that will need to be machined.

To Whom: I notice that I appear on your list—this is to confirm that I am in line for an Assembled Scanner. FYI, I tried the link to your website on this page and it just hung up as it started to load. Best. Mike.View attachment 1317532

I don't think the build-ups will take much time to do, but to be on the safe side, I'm going to estimate somewhere in the 6 to 8 week range with the kits being completed in about 4 weeks. This will give you guys some time to save your bucks!Still interested in a built version. I gather you are going to do the kits first and then built up ones. Any timeline on those?
Sounds good to me. Really looking forward to this.I don't think the build-ups will take much time to do, but to be on the safe side, I'm going to estimate somewhere in the 6 to 8 week range with the kits being completed in about 4 weeks. This will give you guys some time to save your bucks!
By the way, I do have a build thread coming, so stay tuned for that. I will post a link to it here once it's posted.
I'm using a Lithium 3v button cell battery. Model #CR2032. I get these at the local Dollar store, 2 for a dollar, but they can be found at any retail store.What is the exact battery needed for this?
I picked it up at the old "Star Trek Experience" at the Hilton in Vegas years ago.Lol, these look great! I was shocked to see the Tribible container, I designed the label for that, I think for the Viacom retail store in Chicago. I don’t think I have ever seen one “out in the wild”. cool to see the M’Benga scanner Being done!
