Got my slide projectors and finally got around to extracting the inside lenses.

I find it fascinating how the prop guys were probably just digging through junk yards or wherever and found stuff like slide projectors or jet engines and turned them into iconic images on the big screen. Plus the model makers who took old airplane/spaceship/etc. models and make them into X-Wings, TIE fighters, etc.
It takes a certain type of creativity and vision to be able to look at a piece of junk and imagine it being used to build something out of it.
