Agreed. It's not that big of a deal. I think they wanted to be able to push the buttons and not have it move on them, which I can understand. I just hold it with my other fingers. But at the same time, I just tightened mine and I do actually like it better. The detent clicks are more satisfying and it holds it's place while pushing the buttons.I don't understand why so many are fussing about this hinge/hood thing...
Mine is permanently in this display .I personally don't have a problem with it but I'm not constantly opening and closing either.
Thanks. One of two Phasers and one of three Communicators.Love the display.
I have one Tricoder, for now,, two Phasers, including a B&W conversion and three Communicater including a Beta conversion. It seems you just can't have one of any of them.Thanks. One of two Phasers and one of three Communicators.

Just got thru charging up all of my Wand Props. Their 6 month re up. Next one in December. Like clockwork .How permanent is permanent…..did you remove the batteries for preservation purposes?
From the Goooo……..
“Should lithium batteries be removed when not in use?
Remove and Charge the Battery
This precaution helps prevent unnecessary battery drain, as even in an "off" state, the battery can slowly discharge, which may accelerate wear and reduce overall lifespan. Before long-term storage (3-6 months or more), charge the battery to between 60-80% capacity.”
Yeah, I have to charge mine too.Just got thru charging up all of my Wand Props. Their 6 month re up. Next one in December. Like clockwork .
Haha. Very nice. Never got the phaser. I felt that DST was good enough for me at the time. Still kinda do. Just happy I have three nice examples of the three major TOS standard gear...Mine is permanently in this display .View attachment 1947668

I thought it was the DST Communicator that they used, but I could have mixed the 2 of them up.I do believe they used the DST phaser in ST: Enterprise in a mirror darkly two parter. So it's an exact replica of a screen used prop.![]()
You could be right. I will have to look it up now...I thought it was the DST Communicator that they used, but I could have mixed the 2 of them up.
