Languatron

[Hand-Schaub]

One of my favorite props is the languatron but photos are scarce. I looked through the gallery briefly but didn't catch too many images. One image I would like to have is from this auction. Surely we have others available? If not, I may just have to get this picture which is a great investment for many other reasons

There are detailed photos posted, well that will be reposted. Red Eye has his hands full, but even a gif file of it flashing is out there. Give it a little time if not already posted.

It isn't much, but here's what I came up with. Hope it helps:

Thanks - I did get that one. The other looks like a white box but I'm sure it will show up. Do we know what keyboard those came off of? There is no "reset" on a standard modern keyboard...as a matter of fact, none of those are on the keyboard I'm using. I know there are sticker transfer sets out there for replacing key letters. hmmm.

The auction photo has the white keys which they used as a source picture for Adama's 12 inch figure. I assume they used the white keys computer in "Lost planet of hte Gods" as a portable computer I still like the actual "Languatron" because of the obvious and cheap name tag on the front.

The "white keys" device is a transponder, based on the Languatron design:

Ha, on my computer this image shows up as a white square.

Ha, on my computer this image shows up as a white square.

At work it does for me too, a white box... at home I don't know yet!
Right clicking and going to Properties I got the URL of the image...

Try this:


Or directly going to the image at: http://screenfabrications.com/transponder.jpg

(huh, after posting the white box is now an image ... huh ... magic?!)

^ I asked a web expert friend, ChrisPappas.com has steps to prevent hotlinking of images. That's what's going on.

Thanks a bunch! I never knew how different they were. I just thought they used the same one considering you never see the face if the data tansponder. Damn - now I have to make two!

That Languatron kind of reminds me of one of my old TV remote controls. LOL
Going to try to make one myself.
I work with computers for a living and I also do hardware upgrades.
That photo that was posted here is very handy.

Good luck with this project, Athene!

Please keep us updated on this.

Since I started the thread I have done very little on my project. What I would most like are retro keys...or at least acceptable stickers to use on the keys. ANybody have a sense of directions to go? I know some people make replacement stickers for keyboards but from what origianl keyboard do you think these props are based off of?

[Hand-Schaub]

Along the same lines as the first post, does anybody have a super high resolution photo of this Jensen photo? It's a better view of the languatron. Or at least the other version of it.
