nice screen grabs Nick. My guess is that this is some excellent professional 
prop-makers handiwork. It certainly emits that warm-fuzzy glowbug feel which 
is probably what they are seeking.

The dial makes no sense whatsoever and really I think, is the give-away. It 
almost looks like they have used an old military carcass and screwed a sheet 
of aluminum onto the front panel to make a fresh start. Those clips on the 
top and side handles look very military. Pretty nice work actually!
