In the film and book Dr.
R. Chandra, the designer of HAL 9000, and an American crew are
aboard the Soviet spaceship The Leonov, travelling to Jupiter
to find out what happened to US spaceship The Discovery
(in the film 2001). In the event that HAL disobeys
thier directives he has devised a device that will sever the main
connection through which HAL controls the ship, along with a remote
control to trigger it. These hand-props were acquired in 1985
during the liquidation of the MGM Prophouse and are being made
available now for the first time.

Cutter and remote controller.

These props were featured
with the actors and played a crucial role in the outcome of the
story. These are a must for any serious collector of science fiction
movie history. They are in fair condition having lost two buttons
on the cable-cutter unit. They are powered by 9 volt batteries,
which I haven't replaced because I didn't want to damage anything.
They can probably be easily replaced though so the LED's will
blink again as they did during filming.

The cutter
has small non-functional blades to cut through HAL's main logic
cable.
