Um error 404 for me.

 

Guessing it's a DVD/CD holder in the Shape of a TARDIS from the 2nd post. You can buy them for £300 I have one in my Forbidden Planet catalogue - I'm serious tempted it's just raising the money....

It isn't doing the URL right in his post... and no, it's not just a cabinet. Click and be amazed...

wow, impressive. Back in the mid-to-late 80's my best friend and I built a full size TARDIS console in his basement. It was made from wood, drywall, and plexi-glass and had working switches, lights, and sound effects. It was not an exact replica of any one era's console but had bits and pieces inspired by several different consoles such as the 3 switch demat seen in Pertwee's, a drawer housing the comparator (Davison's) etc. The demat switches triggered a tape recording of the demat sound (the troubled, not-gonna-take-off one from Spearhead from Space). We never did get a satisfactory time-rotor to rise and fall. We toyed with the spinning-hoop effect seen in The Mark of the Rani.

 

Sadly, no photographic proof of its existance is around these days. I think the only piece still intact is the totally perfect looking demat circuit and pages and pages of schematics.

If he has gotten' date=' or can get his Time Rotor to move that TARDIS console build will be complete. You're a fanatic GorunNova, be proud in your WHOness![/quote']

 

You don't know how funny it is to be a Californian and a Doctor Who fan. When I talk to most folks out here about Doctor Who they stare at me like I'm some sort of alien because they have no clue what I'm talking about.

 

They don't know what they're missing....

I consider myself a WHOfanatic. I am going back and watching all that I can get my hands on as I cannot remember much from when I was a kid. I obviously did not watch it with 'adult' eyes. It seems that the Doctor, in any of his incarnations, are not far from my mind these days.

Doctor Who really does provide a nice break from this reality, to escape to another time and space. To go on adventures with no care or immediate responsibility. Of course, you would be expected to save the universe every once in a while...

I am in the process of building a cardboard TARDIS for my two sons, who are just about as big of fans as I am. After that, I will start on my own TARDIS, which will sit out in my garden.
