Thank you guys! The big circuit board under the car is for the scanner, the Oshima one they offer for under the hood kit has not been available for quite some time, so I found this one. The LED's for the dash have to be powered by a 3v battery pack as well as the scanner. This will also have a sound clip of Kitt.

Cool, I have tan flocking bought for my kits as well. I also plan on lighting the interior, except for the dash I'm going to photoetch a custom backing panel so light passes through only where the indicators are instead of the whole thing glowing. If you wire a separate LED from the VOX box to your sound output then it will light up in sync with KITT's voice.

Interesting thought for that. Thanks Starbase!

O.k , so I've completed this project and have pics, but before I download them( Hopefully tomorrow) I will be dropping it off to the Hobby shop for display and taking pics of this Hollywood car collection, I will also be taking pics of the completed Fall guy dio that I forgot to take! Again I have been averaging 1 model per month, which is insane!

Sorry Spanjaard no video, that's why I took a few pics to show it working. Yes that is the scanner kit, I just used different Leds. I got the leds from https://ebay.com/itm/20pcs-1..used-9V-12V-DC-Pre-Wired-LED

Link seems not to work.....
21 October 2020, 23:12
Tim Heimer
I tested it when I posted but now it doesn't work. Let me find the type I used and I will send another link here.

Tim Heimer
O.k Spanjaard I found and pasted the site, unfortunately they seem to be out of what you'd need/ or what I used. What I used was the 2mm flat top prewired 9- 12V leds. Yes they worked at 3V and up. Note: I used a battery holder for 3AA batteries which equals 4.5V and the circuit board for scanner didn't mind it. Colors I used were 10 red/ 8 for scanner, 2 for dash, 1 yellow in middle of dash and 1 for counsel. 3 clear in dash- 1 on far left, 2 for screens on far right. I hope this helps!

An Aoshima red scanner showed up today: https://ebay.com/itm/313259197110
26 October 2020, 13:03
Spanjaard
thanks
starting bid 45USD and 14USD shipping. i am curious about how far it goes.
26 October 2020, 14:07
Starbase101
$45 is not a bad price for the scarcity of this scanner, but $14 shipping is double what it will actually cost to mail it and the final price will probably be higher than the starting price. I've already got 5 red scanners, 1 orange scanner and 1 yellow scanner, so I won't be bidding. A while back you were asking about acquiring one of these Aoshima scanners so I posted the link.
26 October 2020, 14:29
Tim Heimer
For what it's worth, Other than the size of the Evil mad Scientist kit it works just as good, and a lot cheaper.
26 October 2020, 14:40
Spanjaard
thanks Starbase101, I really appreciate that you passed the information. but the price is too high, unfortunatelly. i wonder why Aoshima does not produce those anymore, specially since they keep salling Knight Rider kits.
26 October 2020, 15:28
Tim Heimer
How high did it go?
26 October 2020, 22:23

Still has 6 days remaining, and I'm not yet able to predict the future....

In case you might be curious, it closed with only one bid at the opening price.

Well thank you for the update! I was curious how far it would go.
