I wanted a single audio file (HAL's voice) to play when the red arcade button was pushed so I hired someone to help me with an Arduino based circuit that fits inside this model. Custom single stickers are not easy to get so I ordered a 5 x 5 inch window sticker with a series of different sized HAL 9000 logos on it. I ordered perforated plastic canvas for future models. I couldn't print the grill and used an old radio grill for my first attempt. The red arcade button didn't breakdown into paintable parts and needed a lot of taping to prevent overspray. I printed the front faceplate and the box behind it in four different sections. I started with the 45mm red arcade button and worked around it making a 3D model on Sketchup. It took me 4 days to complete assembly once I had all the parts printed and together. I designed, printed and assembled my own model from scratch with a lot of inspiration from other replicas shared online. I wanted a replica HAL 9000 but I didn't want to buy a premade one.

When I saw this post I immediately thought of the coins of Sinope, but the pin appears to be more likely a coin of Syracuse.

Reverse of this coin has an eagle on a dolphin and the word Sinope in Greek. If it is actually gold, it would be a 10 litra and quite rare.Ī similar coin was issued by Sinope (located in Paphlagonia on the Black Sea) with the head of the nymph Sinope surrounded by dolphins. If so the silver coin was gold plated when it was made into a pin. It’s hard to tell the size here, but it from it’s size compared to the button hole, it appears to be a drachm size, circa 390 BCE or thereabouts. The obverse of this issue is a racing chariot with the driver being crowned by Nike. The photo isn’t great but it’s probably a coin of ancient Syracuse (a Greek colony in Sicily) with the nymph Arethusa (a daughter of Nereus) surrounded by dolphins. It appears to be an ancient coin made into a pin or a reproduction of a coin.
