  "account": "Forty years after watching the now mostly forgotten TV show Voyagers! as a child, the reporter has finally acquired their own replica of the Omni, the handheld time-travel device from the show. The Omni, with its steampunk design and brass components, held a special place in the reporter's heart as a kid who identified with the nerdy time-traveler Jeffrey. Despite the show being canceled after its first season and the Omni being hard to find and expensive for most people, the reporter was finally able to buy a 3D-printed version of the Omni from Etsy for a reasonable price. Although it is not perfect and lacks some of the features of the more expensive brass version, the reporter considers it a display piece that is an affordable way to own a piece of TV history.",
