Probably something I shouldn’t have bought but good for a laugh ! ( haven’t heard back from Scotty yet he’s probably out of range !)
Upon un-boxing, I pulled the battery tab as instructed, and the product didn't work. I took the battery cover off to find the batteries had leaked, and had corroded the terminals. I cleaning all the leaked battery acid off the batteries, and from the battery terminals. I then tested the batteries with a battery tester, they were almost flat, which means it won't work for long unless I replace the batteries. But it's not worth buying new batteries for it, as the batteries would total more than half the price of the item. Put everything back together and managed to get it to work finally.
Star Trek fans and collectors will love this one-of-a-kind, mini-size collectible communicator with light and sound.
The communicator is used for voice communication and serves as an emergency-signaling device for Starfleet. Kit includes a replica of the iconic communicator, with light and sound, and a 48-page book on the history of communicators, complete with full-color photos.
User Review
“Be aware that this is not a 1:1 full size replica. It's close. I would
say it's approximately 2/3 size and noticeably smaller than the real one. Can't
beat it for the price.
PROS- Looks, colors and textures like the original. Moire pattern disk,
although stationary, gives the illusion of movement when you view it from
different angles. The three LED gems (blue, red, blue) light up when buttons are
pressed. Two buttons-two sounds. The button on left sounds the original chirping
sound while the button on the right sounds a combination of static and
radar-like beacon. The texture of the black plastic is bumpy like the original.
And finally the price can't be beat when compared with other
alternatives.
CONS- NOT 1:1 – It's slightly smaller than the original at about 2/3 the
size. All Plastic. The brass colored flip cover does not "flip” – you must
physically open it with your other hand or use your finger on the hinge. Does
not chirp when opened like the original – The left button does the chirp.
It's also very light because of all plastic construction.“
Given its shortcomings I still rated it 4 stars because it's a decent
replica and you can't beat the price when compared to others. It comes with a
tiny 3"x2.5” booklet with full color photos from TOS and some useful
information. Both communicator and booklet come in a full-color 3.5"x3"x1 7/8"
box. Erik, USA
