What ONE prop has made it into the most movies?

I think I just saw this on Columbo, "Deadly State of Mind".

Did I miss it, or has no one mentioned the AN/FSQ-7 computer console? Even excluding TV, this has to be the winner.

The Fall Guy was one of the earliest shows to use the PKE meter. It was a Halloween Special.

Practically since the invention of ENIAC and UNIVAC, anytime a movie wanted show a computer "thinking" or "working" they always cut to a reel-to-reel data storage machine. Spin left, spin right, etc, back to the rest of the scene.
I've heard it said that regardless of future advances in computers, that R2R will forever show that a computer is *doing* something.

More of a set design piece, but still...

This thing is called the "Dodotron" and I remember seeing it in Sci-Fi and Fantasy Models magazine here in the UK in the early 90's.

It's been in Men in Black, STNG, Voyager, Austin Powers, Batman Forever. It's also one of the more interesting looking things I've seen.

I would guess it's possibly a Dalek.

Haha. This thing was around about 20 years ago now but if it was still kicking around I wouldn't be surprised if it turned up on Dr Who

G17/18 are quite common in media

If this hasn't been answered,
I believe it's from They Live when they are chasing Keith David and Rowdy Roddy Piper through the cable station office building
