It is possible, that the whole grill was tailored, so that the general size doesn't have to fit 100%, as long the spacing and arrangement of the holes does.Īfter many hours/days of research on the internet, I nearly saw every transistor radio from 1960 to 1964 D but no luck finding this damn grid :\ The holes are arranged rectangular (maybe due to the corrugated surface).Īnd arranged in a straight pattern (not shifted) It is made of thin sheet metal and it seems to be bent on the edges. The grid is corrugated (horizontally or vertical and rotated by 90deg), not smooth. (Principal photography began December 29, 1965, in Stage H at Shepperton Studios, Shepperton, England) The grid is from an audio device, which was produced before Dec. etc.īesides the measurements, I have following information: The grill probably belongs to a radio (maybe a transistor radio) or to another audio device such as a speaker, walkie talkie, cassette recorder. I tried to find the original audio device from where the grid was taken by following these criteria: Sold for £17,500/$27,615 (seems to be authentic enough for me D)ĭOWNLOAD (High-Res HAL Prototype-Picture) So I decided to refer (only -> see Edit) on screenshots from the original movie (Blu-Ray)Įdit : During my research I came to the conclusion to refer also on the Prototype HALĮxcept of the panels height and the replaced speaker grid, all other dimensions including the worn out “HAL | 9000” label do fit the dimensions from the screen-used panel. There was also one panel shown in an exhibition but it also had differences (proportion, different lens (f=7,5mm), number of holes in the speaker grid). I saw the one from the auction some years ago but it clearly had different proportions. final 1:1 full aluminum HAL 9000 panelįirst of all I needed as much detailed pictures of the HAL panel as possible.Īs far as I know there is no screen used panel left from the movie. I'd like to present to you my own HAL 9000 panel project and research, based strictly on the panel shown in Kubrick’s 2001: Space Odyssey and on some facts and research from this forum (especially on the Nikkor lens.
