I had the communicators, and the phasers and tricorder. As to CBs- convoy, Movin’ On, Smokey and the Bandit, Dukes of Hazard etc
I was a little old for these when I became a fan - I think it was 1976 and I was 12. I both wanted them and was disappointed that they looked too much like toys (why light blue?). I bought the communicators and used them for a while, I then opened them up and reused the electronics. I had a kit for a much more accurate tricorder, and used the alert sounds from the communicator electronics for tricorder sound effects. I learned a lot about electronics by working with that board and seeing how different connections would make different sounds. I’ve still got the phaser II game somewhere. I wish I had picked up the console and tricorder, though those were harder to find in the late ‘70s, and I only got so much money for babysitting and mowing the lawn.
I have 3 sets of the communicators. They all work!
I had the communicators loved them lots of fun running g around playing games
Thanks for bringing back so many fond memories.
I think Smokey and the Bandit is the movie that really made the CB Radio so popular since it was such a popular movie in 77.
I had a phaser gun that projected targets on the wall, and the trigger punched tiny pin holes in a film to look like a photon torpedo hit! 🖖
Awesome video! I had the Communicator walkie as a kid and my best friend Mike at the time back in 1978 had the base and his brother had the other walkie. Everything belonged to him but he gave me it to use. When he moved away he let me keep it and I had it for years afterward until it got lost in the shuffle of many moves. We had awesome adventures with those things. Great memories. Wish I still had it!
Very cool!
OMG! I just remembered now....the communications console is how I learned Morse Code! I was only 7 years old at the time.
Great video...👍
Thank you 👍
Regarding Citizens Band Radios: When my wife & daughter {and at the time two cats} and I moved to North Carolina from Florida in 1995, we had two mobile CB radios. We had one in each of our cars, to keep in contact with each other on the trip. We had ONE cell phone at the time, but it was the old Motorola 'brick' phone.
I need to dig up one of those CB radios and put it in my pickup.
When I was a kid, I had at least one pair of walkie-talkies. However, they were not *STAR TREK* - related.
I hadn't thought about it at the time I made the video; but CBs are still pretty much standard on the Harley Cruisers even today. The local chapters use them for coordinating chapter rides.
Thanks so much for all of your efforts with these videos, I never thought I'd see such nostalgia for my favorite show and toys growing up...what a time to be a kid it was in the 70s 🙂
Glad you like them! More to come!
FWIW: I do not know how accurate this is, but I read online that around the time -- or just after -- NBC canned *STAR TREK TOS* due to low ratings, NBC switched from just using ratings based on 'raw numbers' to 'demographics'. That is, not just how many people in total were watching their TV shows, but how many people in certain demographic groups such as AGE GROUPS were watching their shows.
It came to light the age group they wanted to attract the most -- which might have been 18 to 35 years of age, I do not recall exactly -- WAS the one WATCHING *STAR TREK TOS.*
This also reminds me of something J. Michael Straczinski [JMS], the creator, executive producer, and primary writer of the science fiction TV show *BABYLON 5,* posted online back around 2013.
JMS said most TV Network executives just do not 'get' science fiction. I think he is absolutely correct. With exceptions of people like himself, Gene Roddenberry, Joss Whedon and a few others, MOST are SEMI- to FULLY-CLUELESS on the subject. And BTW, I include _Irwin Allen_ in the SEMI-CLUELESS category.
You are correct. The Neilsons started breaking down viewers by their age range shortly after Star Trek went off the air.
Had they started using the demographics earlier, it would have caused NBC to possibly continue the series - even though they really wanted nothing more to do with Gene.
But all--in-all; it is best that they cancelled when they did. I think that the early 70s was the very best time to syndicate a program. The later we got into 1970s, the more we risked surprising the world.
"Steve! Steve! Are you holding?" "No. It's been really dry this week."
Except for the phases, I still have all of those amazing gadgets. I didn't know there is a microphone on the tricorder!
Since I was not a collector as such, I decided that adding a few LEDs to one of the communicators would be cool. It was not, but I am stuck with it. And they all still work, but the clarity of the communications leaves a lot to be desired.
That reminds me... I should check and make sure there are no batteries left in them! LLAP,!
You can use the antenna to skewer The Klingon (TM)! 😂🎉😅
I had the communicator I didn't know about the CB radio thing or the command Communications console
Like the James Bond rac set from Gilbert the phaser two broke quickly
I am so glad I grew up in the 70's and I remember all these toys and playing with them. We tried to use the Morse but it usually just end up as long bleeps in static lol later I had to learn it for my Army MOS.
I had the communicators as a kid. I wish I would of taken better care of them and had them now as a collectable. In addition to that I had a phaser much like the target phaser shown in your video. I believe it was made by Mego as well. It had light and sound and came with these lens attachments for the beam emitter. The attachments would project images of the ships of Star Trek on the wall.
That was the REMCO phaser; I had one as well. It was a good time to be a kid & a Star Trek fan.
That phaser was SO awesome as a kid! I wish I still had it. Strange sound effects though, weren't they?
@@kirk1968 I wish I still had as well. But as kid, those kind of thoughts never enter your mind. As for the sound, if I remember correctly it made a chirping type sound.
@@83Roboto Right? We weren't thinking about future value of our toys, haha. You're right about the chirping sound, I have never forgotten that!
Now I do have the scientific tricorder and it works real good I got it from a shop in Quebec Canada
I'm surprised they didn't talk about the tricorder that was made in Quebec Canada in about 1970 71 cuz I have that one and it had built-in sensors and also had a temperature gauge in a few other things and it was run by a 9-volt battery
I was promised one from a university pal whose dad helped make those MK-1 Tricorder. I'd better remind her...
After watching this video, I am now hoping to see a fan film in which a group of Trek fans dressed exclusively in Trek costumes available in the same time period as these toys and using these toys as the hero accessories come up against a similar '66 Batman fan group dressed in period available Batman and Robin costumes and using the Mego toys as their accessories. Of course, there will be an obligatory Batman style WHAM POW fight with Trek Kirk throws and falls between both groups of heroes reminiscent of the JLA battling the Avengers. Before anyone is seriously hurt, our heroes will, of course, realize they are all on the same side and then team up to take on the real bad guy, an evil entity swallowing up the toy multiverse one toy company universe at a time, the ultimate villain Hasbro. Kirk Forever!!!
With the console I used to pick up all the neighbors phone calls in the neighborhood, cb's and everyhthing in between.
I had forgotten about those old days…. It was common to pick up cordless telephones on walkie talkies back then. Sent from my iPad
What about the tribble and phaser battle game?
