--- Quote from: Harb on March 15, 2018, 08:35:34 am ---All the TV News crew gear that was in the Movie "The Nugget" was mine.....it was the scene where all the news crews went to his house after finding the big nugget.......it was all old stuff out of my retired gear warehouse.....even got in the credits lol... I also have a bit of the gear used in the (Actual) Apollo 11 mission......Monitors and tech gear etc etc. --- End quote --- Nice! From what has been presented so far, I very much doubt there are more than two or three movies out there that use lab equipment properly :D |

kpop. 4Minute - 'WHY' 'Why' is there a scope (powered off, but they adjust it) and what looks like some old chip programmer? What movies DO use test gear correctly? The Dish maybe? |

I watched 'Ghosts of Mars' the other night. Slap center of the 'dashboard' of their high tech bullet train was a huge unidentifiable old tube based scope, round domed white screen and all! :palm: Iiic, it was displaying a bright sinewave. Maybe they needed it to be EMP proof. :D |
