@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial You guys rock!👍👍Wish you can make a video about a special interview with David Hasselhoff next, or maybe a video about Turbo Boost facial impressions in the series. I can't wait to see what you have in mind. Talk to you soon!😂

Yes I have a photo of me with that Kitt over the water.. Beautiful memories i have never will forget it 80’s kick arse with knight Rider 😊👍🏻❤️

Anyone else here remember KITT’s voice box modulator being located in the center of the dash where a tape deck would be, and not on top the steering wheel? This is a BIG Mandela Effect for many and I watched this show like crazy growing up. I remember it being near the shifter. If you watch episodes, Michael even looks that direction when talking to KITT which makes it so bizarre

I am glad to see you guys not only collecting and preserving these items but also using them and driving the car instead of locking it away for no one to ever see again till you die.

The only Pods i have are Tide... Sadly but true

My birthday is Monday...someone asked me what I wanted, I chose what I have been eyeing for ages and just never bought. I'm getting the complete series blu ray of Knight Rider and I credit THIS channel for making me choose that. Many episodes I haven't seen since I was a kid...this is gonna be fun.

Awesome! 😎. Love how the guy just kept it. A man after my own heart, he clearly loved his job and kept it all these years. 👍

Thank you for sharing this. It's so great history. It seems like there's no end. Always finding unexpected things. Really great.

He's got such an ASMR voice that I can't help fall in relax & enjoying it. Obviously IMHO and with all due respect👌

I definitely remember that at Universal. 🤙🤙

It's incredible how you manage to find these things. Someone knows someone who has a collection, and just happens to have worked on the show. Fasinating

Thank you Joe as always

So I was at universal in 1988. So your telling me I sat in a real screen used car 🤯

Awesome Work Bro 👍 Thanks Greetings from Helsinki Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

I sat in that car when I was 10 years old in June 1985

1985? I recall that steering wheel/ pods. At 9 i was confused why there was a drilled letter k on the steering wheel. Now i know it was a speaker

Another great piece of KR history.

There was a segment on entertainment tonight where a kid was in the kitt display car and hasselhoff was there too...the kid was pushing the buttons and told the Hoff..."they don't push"...and then he replied that they locked them out so the car wouldn't go flying over the pond...

Thanks for all

Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos and interesting information I am from South Africa

Fantastic Joe.This is amazing. I never knew this about Kitt's pods.

that's a brilliant piece of history you got there wow you guys are brilliant is the display car still there you should put a offer in for that

Thank you for these historical tidbits. You really know your stuff.

Nice little chunk of history,Joe...nice to have you sitting in your screen used KITT,my piece of tyre is proudly displayed on my bookcase... I am assuming you have made a replica of the insert dash for your car??not the Hero dash... So i hope you can clear up a burning question I've had for years..the S1/2 switchpods...the Sheffe pods and the one you have are the same angle on both sides,but when Universal,i assume made new molds of the dash and pods if anyone has noticed,the right side pod in the hero car is at a lower angle than the left..you see it when KITT self activates and the hero dash comes on...also White Line Warriors when KITT is following Bowdrie's truck the pods are diffferent heights..anyways..my theory always has been the right pod obscured the 3 red readouts so it was lowered,Joe can you put my 30 year plus question to bed??thanks again for all your hard work...

The face of the original Scheffe pod ends where the buttons are also not "vertical" but are slightly angled up as well right?

Last year, the Hoff had an auction of his Baywatch and Knight Rider items. Can you cover that? Thanks

If you ever find the or a trailer, it'll be needed to store all the stuff you have.

👍

Thank you Joe for another great video! It's always very interesting to see and hear about these historic pieces from knight rider.you always explain the history in an enjoyable fashion.using your screen used kitt in the video really made it cool!looking forward to future revelations!😀😀😀

Hi great video and the dash looks awesome bet looks even better at night Back in the 90s I used to have a Vauxhall Astra GTE that dash was digital looked ace

Hey Joe. Nice video as always! I think you should create a portable simracing setup with the insert dash? That would be cool! And which auction house was this auctioned off?

I always wondered what 7dla actually did.

Looking forward to seeing this and everything else when you guys finally open up the Knight Rider museum. (Obviously once the semi is restored.)🙂

Hay. Whatever dash you put in your car it looks great keep up the good work.

Wow, awesome.

Wonder why they crushed the orig display car if it wasn't part of the train derailment cars

Do a video of the other screen used KITT the one that it’s on the Petersen Automotive Museum LA

Speaking of the pods, is this where the mysterious C button was supposed to be in season 4? Could never quite figure that one out.

man I love that car❤❤

excellent video

Joe, the dash replica on your screen used Knight 2000 is looking so cool. Very detailed dash. Will the speedometer and the tachometer will work, or it’s just will be all static like the insert dash? Let me know when you can.

Can a season 3/4 KITT Dash be built and for what price

Hi guy's. Greetings from England... What did you think of the ford mustang based KITT in the more recent reboot

Where and who do you get your replica dashes from? Thanks a lot

Another little golden nugget...what will you do with that I wonder? Maybe hang it on the wall? Lol Thanks for sharing buddy. :)

Great video, as always; I enjoy seeing the behind-the-scenes short-cuts that are used to give the illusion of functionality where full operation isn't always needed. I do have one quick question that maybe you, or a viewer might be able to answer. On K.I.T.T.'s "voice module", shown in this video at about the one minute mark - do the individual segments have several different levels of brightness as the bar progresses, or are they either ON or OFF? It looks like they have gradations of brightness as the sound increases, but that may be an optical illusion caused by your frame rate, or just light bleeding through from the previous, lit, segment. I want to build my own, and I want to get it right. Thanks.

I believe they have a video about the voice module as they got one that was used on-screen and restored it to working, so you may find the answer there.

@@spyone4828 Excellent advice: The driver uses an LM3915 Bargraph driver chip - obsolete now, but still obtainable. Based on the internal design (of the chip) each LED is either on or off, and any appearance to the contrary is just a shutter speed artifact, persistence of vision, or bleed through from the nearest ON LED (most likely D) all of the above). It also answered another question I had about how the outer displays related to the inner one. Many thanks!

Hey Joe, would you like to see a video of Bob Bralver drag racing earlier this year, and telling a story about jumping KITT through an airplane in Season 1? LMK and I'll send you a link.

You can listen to that voice in several videos made by visitors and uploaded on youtube (on this channel as well).

Does the screen in the car work?

And where C button ? In panel loft or right

Too bad the voice actors could not sound like William Daniels... Seeing the wheel and buttons was so cool....
