I got the Mego Tricorder
Hi guys!
Well it came. The box is beat to pieces, but it works as far as I can tell, (except rewind), I haven't tried to record on it yet. A lot of you were wondering what was on the tape it came with. Someone thought it might be The Menagerie, Pt. 1. Well, I don't know if Mego put different eps on different tapes, (doesn't sound very cost effective to me), but on mine is a very abridged "Where No Man Has Gone Before", and after that, an abridged "The Corbimite Maneuver", and then a general ending of an ep I can't place, because it sounds like the ending to almost any Star Trek ep. I turned it over, expecting to hear some little kids goofy recording, but what I played was blank. Too bad. And those batteries were nearly impossible to get in.
Y'know the Mego ad for this thing where you see the little kid running w/ the tricorder over his shoulder? That must have been one strong kid, b/c that thing is really heavy w/ the batteries inside!
Anyway, just thought I'd share. Comments?
