Description

In service between 2366 and 2372, the Starfleet TR-580 Tricorder VII succeeded the TR-560 Tricorder VI. Retaining the same basic shape as the previous design, the TR-580s also incorporated hand sensors, but this feature was eventually phased out by 2370. This hollow resin replica has been painted in high-gloss automotive paint. It has been fitted with accurate electronics that feature multicolored LEDs, scanning sounds FX and opening and closing ratching sound FX. By Stapleton13 with screen accurate graphics created by Tripper. Electronics by GMprops, installed by myself.
