Escape From New York - Snake Plissken Presidential Tracker Final Prototype Movie Prop (Finished!!!)

- Last year in September I had posted a preview video showing my progress on the Presidential Tracker from one of my favorite movies "Escape from New York". I worked on my prototype when I had the chance to do so and finally finished it up about a week ago. My tracker is not made from an old Tiger SubWars Handheld game from the 80s. I did not have the heart to tear the one I found apart so I took the time and fabricated everything myself based on the old hand held game that the actual movie prop was made from. My version of the tracker is slightly thicker and I have added my own engraving on the back. In the movie you never really see the back so I just used some creative license of my own.
My tracker starts up just like the hand held game did with a slide switch on the side and indicates that it is active by a blinking red LED in the upper left corner. Once on, you have the option of choosing between 2 tracking modes.
Each mode can be activated by a small push switch on the upper side right back.
Track 1: Starts from the upper left hand corner and follows a trail of leds diagonally to the bottom right corner, with a set of beeps. (This was shown in the movie when Snake is at the wrecked Air Force One Jet)
Track 2: Starts at the lower right and work backward diagonally back to the center until it finally comes to the center and indicates you have found the president, or at least who Snake thought was the president.
Both tracking modes can be activated separately or one can follow the other to create just one track.
In the end this is a project that I have wanted to complete for a long time and am happy with the final prototype. I plan on making a final movie quality tracker by printing at a higher print setting, my prototype was printed at standard so I could make sure everything worked right.
I will not be making a tutorial on this prop since I have not gotten a lot of interest from my past EFNY Props. However, I'd be happy to answer any questions about how I created it.
Thanks for watching!!!

Love this!!! Is the print file available to purchase??
Sorry for the delayed response, have been busy for the past few days. I dont have the file up for sale, but if your interested in making one I could print an enclosure for you. Would you be interested in buying one?
This is awesome! I have the sub war "real" tracker.. what was the total cost to make one like yours?
I have not really totaled the cost, but to guesstimate, I'd say around $75 or so. When you say the real tracker, do you mean the actual SubWar Game? I've actually made a better enclosure that is even closer to the original, since I posted this video, just haven't had the time to finish all the electronics.
Yes..the sub wars game..and feel the same, don't want to destroy it. So...would you be up to make me one of these for me?
@@kalament1969 Well, that depends on your time table. Do you need it right away or by a certain date? I do these projects when time permits. I'm not retired or anything so I work on them when I can.
@Vincent_Serpico I've posted on here my email a couple times but I think youtube keeps deleting it! I don't have a time frame.. how can I reach you off of here.. I'm at kalament1969 at the G○○gle male.. have to do it in code ..lol
@@Vincent_Serpico how can I contact you off of here to work out build and payment?
