Trek Classic Medical Scanner Mark I

[JiminSTLouis]

I hadn't but I have now.

When it does run, how does it sound? The extended youtube video makes the motor sound pretty quiet. But someone posted one on FB and the motor was pretty loud.

Very quiet. You really have to listen for the motor over that scanning sounds. I'm very happy with it and if I have to charge it every so often then I'm okay with that.

Good to hear. For all I know, the video someone posted could have been an old DSteins scanner and not the new one. I’m waiting for my shipping notice.

Number 60 arrived today at first glance the motor is more quite than the old version of this

Sounds perfect to me. I just want a TWC tricorder now to display it with...

Has it always been a reflective sticker? My Mandela effect remembers an actual spinning disk - but in my old age my Mandela has bit me in the @$$ more than I care to admit.

Franz Joeseph Tech manual is wrong on just about everything

Take it with a BIG grain of salt

Again, everything on this is as it is on the actual prop

I heard back from Roger about the battery not holding the charge and he said Dennis thinks it's the battery control board. He said to ship just the scanner back to them and they would fix it for free with turn around in about 48 hours.

I just received my tracking!

EDIT:

ETA Saturday the 14th. Just in time for Father’s Day.

That's awesome. I figured they'd be happy to take care of you.
For reference, I charged mine once for 5 min before it turned green (it still had a charge from being shipped) and have been playing with it off and on for a few weeks now. several minutes at a time most times, and I have not seen any drop in speed or sound, and have not needed to charge it yet. I probably have about an hour of use total if I had to guess.

When I received mine the battery was dead but charged up in under 10 minutes. I played with it for a while and then didn't try it again until yesterday and it was dead again, I charged it again and again it charged in under 10 minutes. It still had a charge this morning before I packed it up.

Yeah I'll bet it's just a bad battery. I took a look inside mine when I swapped out the serialized port cover plate (they put number 61 on my scanner when I'm number 51) It's just one of those flat lithium batteries but I didn't see if it had a connector or if it was just soldered on. I'm hoping it's just a connector so they'll be easy to replace years down the road if they start degrading.

Dennis apparently thinks it's the battery control board which is why they had me send it back. The battery is supposed to be easily changed out, which like you I hope is the case.

The whole she-bang with this scanner is top-notch all the way

Surprised no one mentions the packaging of this prop so beautifully thought out and done

My first scanner years ago came in a jewelers draw string bag!

An observation…It appears to me that most medical scanners being made either by 3D printer means, or mfg’d like Trek Classic, Roddenberry..etc are off when it comes to the grip….

Said to be from the Paul Allen collection which I’m assuming are original screen used hero props….the amount of ribs per rib group on the grip should be a count of 4….not 5…as shown in the below Trek Classic example vs original hero.

I meant to reply to this earlier.
It actually is four ribs on the TrekClassic scanner. It’s just that there’s a small lip on the outsides of the four ridges so there’s some extra lines. That lip isn't as raised as the ribs. so it's like the curved part flattens out and then with a small inset the 4 ribs are embossed on it.

The profile is more like this.

Not to split hairs butttttt…

The arrow points to polymer injection point at the center of the cover/ cap to produce the clear cover/cap.

I suspect they used a clear cap from a pump spray bottle/container of some consumer product. That being my suspicion, then no, it’s not “everything” as the actual prop…imo.

Actually it is BETTER than the original!
