I love the original Transporter control panel so much… those sliding switches were so evocative, I like how Scotty would apply pressure slowly—and then suddenly—when operating them. It seemed very much a “feel” thing.

"Arsenal of Freedom" was on last night and I specifically noted the transporter operator *touched* the bottom of 2 of the 3 "sliders" to energize the 2 pads that Picard and Crusher stood on. As an electronics engineer I can't find a technical reason for the original sliders, but they looked neat-o.
Absolutely! I love everything about that film, from the fandom/con to the all the inside jokes and references. It’s a true love letter to sf, fandom, and Star Trek in particular.
