If you ever dreamed of owning a Star Trek TOS tricorder, well, soon you can. Probably for a pretty penny.

Not sure I would actually ever buy something like that myself (even if I could afford it); that's not my pop culture ephemera/memorabilia jam - but I absolutely love that there are people building stuff like this.

@jwcph Hey, find a flip phone that runs Android and put Trycorder on it. Maybe mod the shell. Done and done!

Edit: D'oh, I got my TOS and TNG tricorders mixed up. Still, fun home project for the long winter months! 🤪
