Title: Star Trek Comm Panel - door chime
Post by: Rico on January 18, 2012, 04:04:52 PM
Figured I needed to get one of these for the stairs going down to the "Rico-Cave."  Pretty sweet item!

This is the first prop that you posted that I really don't like for some reason. Maybe it's the look of it, but I don't like it at all.

come to think of it, get me some cardboard and some high gloss paint and i could make something similar.
but still, looks pretty neat. now all we need are some sliding supermarket doors. :)

To me, the colors seem off....I don't know why.  BUT, the idea is pretty darn cool.

This isn't meant to be a dead-on accurate prop of the TOS comm panel.  It's just a fun version of the comm panel.  If you want a more screen accurate version, try here:

I was looking at it yesterday when you originally posted it, but within an hour it was sold out. Hopefully they get more in, as would be cool to have, if only just for the swoosh and whistle sounds.

They were sold out a week or so ago too Jeff.  Just add your email to the item page and they will send you an email when more get in stock.  That's what I did and they sent me an email and I ordered mine.  Just got an email today from them saying mine has shipped.  Once I get it, I'll be sure to do a review for the podcast.

Thanks Rico, I did that. Looking forward to hearing your review when you get it.

I got this over the weekend and it's pretty cool.  It has a few modes you can run it in, and two volume settings (one is very loud).  I hung it up on the stairs down to the Rico-Cave.  I'll do a full review on the podcast soon.

Cool. I remember getting my first phone that could use audio samples and having the TNG door chime as my text message noise! :)
