Beautiful steampunk-esque raygun from old camera parts

Eric Skiff says:

I love anachronisms, and this raygun from a fictional future past is really a thing of beauty. The radiation logo and vacuum tubes are vaguely terrifying, and the case is beautiful as well. The only piece I really recognize in this context is that classic super-8 handle, and somehow that roots it even more firmly as a possible item that never came to be.

While this is not 100% Steampunk in style,this is still quite a nice bit of re-purposing of old bits and gubbins.

For the handle of the gun, the creator used an old super-8 movie camera
Vacuum tubes from a vintage radio go into the other parts of the gun.

More photos of the construction process maye be found here:
