The landlord collected stuff. I got the innards of an old record player, as well as some vacuum tubes, from him. These, along with a circuit board from a calculator, as well as the halves of some plastic Easter eggs, some ball-headed pins, and some pipe cleaners, became a 1:6 scale Fiendish Device. <\/p>\n<p>I originally thought I&#8217;d use it as a piece of equipment for my Frankenstein-like scientist Janet. However, the Device took up too much desk space to be a truly usable background element. Also it was really heavy, so I eventually ditched it before moving.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always missed the Fiendish Device. Sadly, though, the only record I have of it survives in this small photo of crappy quality in which Will, dressed up as Frank in prep for a midnight showing of RHPS, pretends it&#8217;s a sonic transducer. <\/p>\n<p>I should remake it. It was the best vaguely ominous, sort of scientific-looking thing ever. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/willasfrank.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/willasfrank.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8366\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/willasfrank.jpg 512w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/willasfrank-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/oddpla.net\/modernwizard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/willasfrank-144x108.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back about a decade or so ago, I lived in an apartment on the third floor of a house.
