Yeah the nice thing about the timing of Buck, and being a Uni ? Larsen gig the close over use of the props, sets, and costumes was off the hook like any other program out there. Always weird though to see the Cylon Baseship hallways painted red, blue, or pink...yeah just not right.

It's not just the in line row of led's that is familiar.....the shape of the tool is also very telling and I just can't palce it.

My dad has been an electrical eng. since I'm 5 and he had just about every electronic gadget and insturment made as they came out , then when the new one would come out he would give me the old one and I'm tellin ya...I have seen that tool somewhere I just can't remember (Probably was not white in original condition) :erk:

Next project on the bench is Starbucks's Cylon repair tool from G1980, return of starbuck.
Anyone have more pics, measurements, have a screen used?

We are Lic Ham radio operators as well and it dawned on me that with the telescoping ant. it might be a hand held RF meter.
