So ⦠10 years ago I did some work for a guy named David Sweetnam. He owned a company called Vital Technologies and they created state of the art science instruments for the federal government ⦠mostly for meteorology, but some were for surveillance.
Sweetnam was also a Trekkie and so he did a deal with Paramount and created what I think was the first (and maybe only) real working Tricorder â they called it the TR-107 Tricorder Mark 1; which was a limited edition â if you can call 10,000 limited.
Anyway ⦠he gave me one which I never took out of the box. I put it away ten years ago and never saw it again until I emptied a carton in the basement over the weekend. Itâs #118 â Majel Roddenberry got 001 and Sweetnam and his partner kept #2 through 100.
I googled and yahooâd and checked ebay ⦠but there doesnât seem to be any for sale.
Any idea what this thing might be worth?
