Panasonic TR-535 Pop up Blade Runner prop

Picked up this clean Panasonic 5" Popup set today, it's been at the Thrift for a couple weeks or more but since it was half off day I decided to spend $7 and get it.

It's in good shape and works great, the battery pack is missing though, it would be shot anyway.

This model was used as a prop in the movie Blade Runner, mounted upside down to look extra futuristic, that is probably pure Hollywood fiction since I see no indication that this set was designed to be mounted upside down, or right side up for that matter, it just sits on a table.

It's great for DX'ing, as you can see it's pulling in Cleveland from a couple thousand miles, and more than half a century away.
