As to value of the piece, that's difficult to say as it depends on the market. The HAL came with a COA confirming it was a limited edition (but no mention of how many). I wonder if the 2013/16 timeline is correct coz I have an SD HAL9000 bought way before 2013 also a prototype SAL9000. Are you sure you've plugged it into the correct port?įinally, if you're not 100% happy with your replacement HAL9000 logo, why don't you put a post on here? There's lots of talented guys in the forum who may be able to make an accurate one for you. The only way I got it to work was to put the sensor behind the speaker grill so it can 'see' through the holes, it worked for me, not sure why it doesn't work for you. Mine is currently only voice activated but I do have the gubbins to make it motion activated as well (and had it working that way for a while). I have no plans to sell off mine but I would have valued it at around £500 (I certainly wouldn't accept less), however, get 2 fans desperate for one on an ebay auction and who knows where it would end up (getting the word out on forums like this is a sure way to get the price up). I wonder if the 2013/16 timeline is correct coz I have an SD HAL9000 bought way before 2013, also a prototype SAL9000. Really hoping that someone can provide info, given the experience and expertise of this community. Has anyone determined a way to make the motion sensor work while keeping it hidden? Would love to be able to activate the HAL voice via motion versus sound. Having a sensor hanging outside of the unit is not ideal, but I haven't been able to figure out a better option.

Lastly, there is a motion sensor connection port on the motherboard, but all my attempts to add a sensor to activate the HAL voice via motion have failed due to the fact that the sensor cannot penetrate forward of the metal composition of the unit (even through the grill holes).

What do you think the value of the replica is? (I know it’s very subjective, and at the mercy of the market, so maybe what I’m asking is – If you own one, what would you let it go for? And also yes, I did see that there was one that sold for £250 in the junkyard recently, but that seemed extremely low to me, hence this post).

Other than me, do any other RF-ers own one of these?.

Since he is auctioning off at least 30 units, is there a way to determine how many finished units exist? (220 is the obvious answer, but hoping someone knows an exact number).

Were there additional runs beyond the original 250?.

Does anyone know if the original run was really limited to 250?.

Based on the above info, I have a few questions for my fellow RPF-ers: The auction showed that 20 lenses had already been sold, and that there were more than 10 still available for purchase. Each one also has a scratch-resistant coating applied.” These lens replicas also have a black coating (NOT PAINT! It's NOT! Seriously!) on the rear just like the original. Copied from an original lens and is EXACTLY the same with the same optical properties as the original lens.

“There are only a few dozen left from that long-long-ago project and they are now being offered AT COST as a service to the collector community.”.They still had to buy 250 for the minimum order, but they pulled it off.” Normally, they wouldn't take on such a small, dopey project, but their project manager was a big fan of 2001 and agreed to make these. But they knew that they had to have the lens done properly, so they went to a big optics company in NY that did lots of work for the military. “Way back in 2013-2016, some company produced some "license-challenged" HAL 9000 replicas.SD Studios recently (February this year) listed an auction on eBay for “2001: A Space Odyssey HAL 9000 GLASS LENS, RED FILTER, WHITE LED for Moebius kit” for $49.95ea with the following comments in the auction description:

That being said.I have one of the SD Studios HAL 9000 units that I purchased via private sale in 2016. Having lost $$ to replica prop makers in the past, I sincerely feel for those who got caught up in in the BS of this company. I have read the history of his business practices and am thankful that I wasn’t one of the unfortunate victims. Let me lead by saying, please don’t troll me for creating an SD Studios thread.
