Thumbs ranking
DescriptionDoes anyone know a place where you can buy 1920s or 1930s radio and/or scientific equipment in Finland? Either real or fake props? Eurospy would be set in the present day, but there would be at least one scene which would require period equipment. This scene would be in a small scientific research hut which is studying radio itself, rather than communicating with anyone. None of it has to be in working order, it just has to look real. Also, if you have any good suggestions on how to fake this kind of equipment cheaply, please give it a shot... :-) This task is closed. Shots radiosthis guy is a older radio equipment guru, has awesome and alot of pictures that could be useful. If you need a comm room setup i can get it for you. He may have it on his site,havent checked everything link to his website: i have some stuff..but in NorwayTo bad i live in Norway, Have alot of ww2/pre ww2 german radio equipment i will lend to anyone who need it.(My grandfather was ss viking, he kept alot of stuff just in case..)even got his helmet lol Shouldnt be to hard to fake tbh, will get some pics sent to you asap.Radio equipment back in those days were rather simplistic. I know you asked for stuff in Finland, but in case anyone closer needs anything send me a message. CommentsThanks for the info, even the pictures would be useful for prop creation if necessary. Like you say, equipment of the period was usually just a simple box with dials on so faking it should be possible. Museums or armyHave you tried contacting local military museums/regular museums? Some friends of mine made a ww2 resistance movie a few years back, and managed to borrow some stuff from a local museum. CommentsGood idea. There's no military or technical museum where I am, but I could try contacting somewhere in a nearby town. |

It would be a very basic field lab, bare walls, nothing but the equipment and a simple chair. It would be for listening to radio signals from natural phenomena, no analysis or anything like that.
Btw,what kind of lab is it? could be rather important for reconstruction, always annoyed me in movies when labs are a mix of every form of research ever devised:-)
Stig-Magnus, I'm the one who should apologise, I didn't make it clear in the task. :-)
I've now edited the task so that it says this is for research rather than communication.
Those pictures are great, I especially like the first one. That could be fairly easily constructed from modern day parts.
Well, been searching the web abit, and to me it seeems like 20/30s labs were a messy business:-)

Ah ok, i didnt get that,sorry:-)
Just to make clear, it's more of a scientific research room. They would be using the radio equipment mainly for scientific experiments.
