Lost In Space | Space Pod Fusion Core Filming Miniature (With DVD)

An original Space Pod fusion core filming miniature used in the Irwin Allen science fiction television series Lost in Space (20th Century Fox Television, 1965-1968).

This fusion core is composed of resin with a hand-painted iridescent silver-tone finish. A series of twenty-four light bulbs are present inside the miniature, which would illuminate in a rotational pattern. Wiring is labeled with tape that reads, "#1/ #2/ #3/ #12." A plastic insert with frosted sections conceals the light bulbs, while still allowing light to shine through.

This type of filming miniature can be seen in Season 3 of the television series, at the bottom of the Space Pod spacecraft, and is particularly noticeable when illuminated via special effects.

This item has not been tested for operation.

Includes a DVD of the third season of the television series.

3 x 15 inches
