There are like 2-3 pictures I know of that exist of this prop. Here's my start ! Tube and 14 bit chips with mounts

Regarding the 14 bit with mount. Is that what’s used on the prop. I know that there is something there but I can’t tell what. And where’s a good place to pick them up?

I'm guessing that's the same part that's on the top front of some of the E-11 scopes?

Yea, I went digging and found a builder that spotted the Michell transcriptor missile pieces in a screencap on a star destroyer. That same person also found out about the chips - I got mine off a heavy board that I scrapped from a scanning electron microscope labratory. Specifically, they come with the chip socket, which raises this high enough off the gun.

It has 14 feet and a curved ended rectangle cut-out in it. other chips have half circles or square cut outs in the top shell
 
Here's where we are at! I actually think the curved pipe goes to the LOWER transcripts part instead of the upper. I'll find the photos ideas looking at.

The pulley.. we found little slotted wood screws and drilled the disc to act like a washer (bored the hole a little and drilled through larger than the threads) and then drilled the gun a little smaller than the threads. Screwed it in with some e-6000!

Here we go. I see a sharp angle between the long pipe and the tone arm piece. I see it cross the reflection and probably go down the the LOWER one? Thoughts?
