    Trust me guys, I have searched, and searched, and searched, and then I searched a little further.

    Nothing. Ebay, gumtree, google images, I've used different search terms, specific terms, and found nothing even remotely resembling this thing.

    You're more likely to find one of connery's rugs for sale.

    And no ones suggestions are right so far, I know cos I've searched using those brands myself and they didnt find a thing.

    MG :(

    Craig, there is no big secret, I made an agreement with another collector and I will not renege on that deal, it is a matter of honour and respect.

    Whats the big secret about knowing who makes this. unlikely any of us will be able to track one down after all this time anyways?


    I think it has something to do with the hours of research that has gone in to it CJ, parp, if everyone knew what it was it would make it that much harder to find -{

    I think if it was to do with honour Andy would give his first one to the person that told him what it was :D
  • Gadget MeisterGadget Meister Bicester, OxonPosts: 1,972MI6 Agent
    Pete, I fully concur with what you have said about honour and thereby award this hard to find gem to ......... myself :)) Sorry Pete it was me that tracked it down and I shared the information with one other person who in turn reciprocated with some other info and hence the pact of honour between two collectors.

    Welll anyway despise all the fuzz – cheers Andy – nice one
    -{

    p.s. but you should post more from your collection

    I agree with Andy. I have spent YEARS looking to even identify certain items.
    I respect his Gentleman's agreement and Word of Honour for what it is

    I have given up looking :D
  • Gadget MeisterGadget Meister Bicester, OxonPosts: 1,972MI6 Agent
    Just to show that I don't keep everything to myself coupled with the fact that I have already sourced one for my collecting friend and it already resides in his collection I give to you the AVTAK PTS Tracking device.

    Actually an avalanche tracker model Barryvox VS 68 originally made for the Swiss army and can actually be found occaisionally on the Bay of E. Enjoy {[]

    Haven't you sorted out any cabinets yet Andy? you must have a stunning collection from what small part you have shown over the years, I would love to see it all out on display, its not a case of knowing what you have or don't have, for me it is like visiting a museum, its all in the display, I could do with some inspiration o be honest -{

    speaking of which, i've just ordered a new sofa and plan on rearranging me lounge, freeing up space for a display cabinet.....

    course all i need now is the damn cabinet...

    I need one to,it is a nightmare to find a nice one, the double one I have is a good one, I just can't find the people that made it :D
  • Gadget MeisterGadget Meister Bicester, OxonPosts: 1,972MI6 Agent
    What I need Pete is for someone to remember who made their bespoke cabinets and put my in touch, I would have gone Detolf but, having looked at them they are just dust traps :( I think we all suffer from the same problems, not enough room, prohibitivley expensive commercial cabinets and probably the largest hurdle ....... "You're not putting that in MY lounge" "It's just more clutter" & the classic "It doesn't go with the room!"

    Yeah, yeah I know ...... grow a pair ...... but I like living at the moment :D

    All I remember is they make cabinets for John Lewis, they were based in Nottingham and I found them on the Bay but I bought them privately, now it is a distant memory and no bloody records of who they are :D

    Lucky for me we don't use the what you would call the living room, that is the only reason Im aloud to have my stuff on display :D nothing to do with growing a pair, if they are against it your fooked :D
  • Gadget MeisterGadget Meister Bicester, OxonPosts: 1,972MI6 Agent
    Yeah I listen to you, Jeff, through my Mont Blanc Solitaire Pen cap :))

    Pete this just goes to prove that it's better to OCD like me and record everything than to have ADD like ........... sorry I forgot what I was saying :D

    Thanks for the AVTAK prop description but i couldn't give a monkeys of this as for me one of the worst bond films. Andy i already know the letter 'PYSL' reside on the monocular/range finder. As having it on hd helps with these little matters. I want to know simply because Goldeneye is the one bond film for props i'm concentrating on the heaviest, and to one day get all the desirable props would be mission complete and maybe achieving 00 status lol
  • danjaq_0ffdanjaq_0ff The SwampsPosts: 7,283MI6 Agent
    My be you should try Bluray CJ :D

  • Gadget MeisterGadget Meister Bicester, OxonPosts: 1,972MI6 Agent
    And unfortunately that is another reason why I am reluctant to give out information as it is not appreciated, the AVTAK prop was another gem that had eluded people for a long time and the first reply I get over it is not "Thanks very much I'll file that away for future reference" it's "I couldn't give a monkeys" I clearly stated the reason why I could not give the info out at this time, just accept it, you're not getting the info. I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh but my back is now well and truly up. X-(
  • CJ007GoldeneyeCJ007Goldeneye LondonPosts: 587MI6 Agent
    Andy i'm not saying i don't appreciate the info of course i will keep it for future reference only its not the info i was hoping for. I will leave it there now apologies for any annoyance.

    Tuna tin key :D
  • Gadget MeisterGadget Meister Bicester, OxonPosts: 1,972MI6 Agent
    See now you're just setting me off hunting again ..... I hate you :#
  • danjaq_0ffdanjaq_0ff The SwampsPosts: 7,283MI6 Agent
    Hey I hate me too :D
  • minigeffminigeff EnglandPosts: 7,884MI6 Agent
    I think someone needs to calm down.

    CJ, I know it can be massively frustrating when searching for something. The GE camera is something I too long for, and I too don't know the full details about it. Sod HD, you can find out about the lettering on dave's site, a google search brings that up.

    For me, it's all part of the challenge of collecting stuff, not just knowing what was used and where it's from, but also finding it out. Sometimes it's up to ourselves to sort it out, sometimes fellow members are willing to share little nuggets of info, ya know, like the bits if help I've been giving you with the door decoder.

    Don't go and shoot yourself in the arse by ranting off at people, be grateful that Andy has shown us the GE camera prop, it's the first time many of us have seen it other than on film.

    It's seen on the console for the goldeneye firing system, think the Cuban site.

    Edit, or is it on the palm reader in severnaya?
