+adamantyr Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That's neat! There is also a TI in Different Strokes, episode 6.12 "Where There's Smoke", at about 15:15... I remember seeing it years ago in the 80's and going "Hey, that's my computer!" http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5746xt Now I'm wondering if it showed up in other episodes as a prop in Arnold's room... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Back in the day with just fleeting shots on TV and no HD like today with huge screens, they probably figured no one would ever notice those old TV style flat lead connectors. Damn though, I've not seen or used connectors like that since the 70's! Nice find! It took quite a while to even find a photo of these old dinosaurs on the Internet.

senior_falcon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Not a full TI99/4A but this is a TI99 keyboard used as a prop in "The Running Man", set in a dystopian United States between 2017 and 2019.

Omega-TI Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 ^ You know it's a prop when it's not even plugged in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+adamantyr Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah, cables are ugly on TV... I bet you don't even see them much on modern TV either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah, cables are ugly on TV... I bet you don't even see them much on modern TV either. True, but nowadays it's all battery powered with WiFi connectivity so who needs those stinking cables. For the record, my TI has more cords and cables than any other dozen items in the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn though, I've not seen or used connectors like that since the 70's! Nice find! It took quite a while to even find a photo of these old dinosaurs on the Internet. I used to use these in my "projects" for 9 volt batteries connectors. They worked great for them. Oh the radio shack days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
