Hey guys, just did a fast and cheap scratch-build Cage Communicator. Here is a link to the Flickr page for it, with a video of the finished product at the end. Hope someone finds it fun.

Very impressive!

Too bad the fan films have done little to explore the "The Cage" era. This would be perfect for them.

Thanks!

Didn't James C. do a good retro episode? It even inspired me to go look for an old gooseneck lamp

 

[Bernard Guignard]

Hi John, the body was made from the case that the Verizon 5750 aircards came in. I had quite a few in my office, but the newer 'express' 770 cards are narrower and do not ship in similar cases.

Oh, and I got the gill from a speaker supply store online. Very cheap like $5 a piece as they are just 'samples', but the perfect size! PM or email me at rmeyers@nyc.rr.com anytime

Oh and John, i was in error, the wireless card sold in these clear cases is the AT&T 881 aircards. You can see one here with the case:
