Hi, Just got it down from the attic, been there for over 30 years. Powered it up and works a treat, I would imagine they are quite rare, anyone else got one?

Happy with my much later iteration: The Sharper Image Phantom Force. Even learned how to repair its stepper motor mechanism issue because someone turned it on without unlocking the mechanism. Only hope the LCD screen doesn’t expire on me. It seems to be the Achilles heel on these productions.
