Oooooh-kay That is just weird. Kinda sounds like something Tesla would have conjured up to talk with aliens.  -Steve

Well it is nicely artfully made as a prop, not some crap like the cathedral radio with the garbage glued all over it. What we need is a device for bringing back dead radios, oh wait, I got that!

How do you start a conversation with a dead person? - "So how 'ya been doin'?!" I can just hear the answer - "I'm dead you idoit!"

You really have to wonder... is it a scam, or do they actually send you plans for a real thing, though it will just happen to be about as large and expensive as the LHC?

Nick, not to worry, the parts for the item that Wazz brought up are not made of unobtanium --the seller mentions they provide the Radio Shack part numbers for assembly.
