Odd - hit reply within KD’s post, but it appeared as its own separate post, AND it showed my quote, when it should have shown KD’s. ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Orgasmatron kiosk from Sleeper That one might not be too hard to make. IIRC, it was a revolving darkroom door painted white with a meter and a couple of lights on top. [![](https://filmfanatic.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Sleeper-Orgasmatron.png) ](https://filmfanatic.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Sleeper-Orgasmatron.png) We had one at my first job, back in the 1970s. If you could find an old one still in decent shape somewhere (big if, maybe) it would be pretty easy to recreate. ---

Awful lot of severed heads on your list. Hmmm. I’d like Ava Gardner’s scarf from one of my favorite movies, _The Killers._ Also the _Fletcher_ class destroyer in _Greyhound._ ---
