@atomobot So the p1 halves are pulling away from the middle ?

@atomobot And if you ever consider selling, I would very much like to give that phaser a nice home right here ! 🙂

@atomobot I have, but I agree, you always worry about doing more damage. The few I have done work on were already pretty botched up, so I figured any fix I did would be a plus !

@BobMoline I’m glad you reached out. Do you ever work on/repair anything from your collection? It has some delamination in the layers of the type1 detachable between the aluminum and black plastic. I’m forever torn about trying to clean and reglue - but don’t know what they used orig

@atomobot That should read p2, not p1...

@atomobot You are correct. All the Starfleet Command P1s were sand cast metal. The way I heard, he worked a deal to get them cast for 7.00 each, and that lasted until the foundry guy learned what they were, and tripled the price !

@atomobot Still learning about the history of those old convention pieces. Those guys were making props in their garage without 3d printers, or computers, or even a freeze frame on the VCR ! We have it so easy today...🙂

@atomobot Little bit of everything, I'm afraid... Collected toy robots from the 50s thru the 70s for 25 years or so. Still have a couple hundred. The Trek props are more recent, last 3 or years. Have maybe a dozen each of communicators and phasers.

@atomobot Bill, I found an old post from 2013 on Richard Coyles site. You were looking to ID a phaser you had. It's a copy of a Brad Nelson built by a company called Starfleet Command. Haven't seen one in years. Do you still own it ??

W.O.W # 89. Tobe Hooper had about as much to do with directing Poltergeist as I did with directing the Bob Seger... fb.me/93ydhDCdz

Don Williams died. That sucks.
