Get one of these babies for less than the price of 2 grams!
These were sold in the 70s and 80s, and still show up on auction sites. Here's a photo of a real one.

While the Theremin was a mainstay of many sci-fi shows and movies, Star Trek never actually used one.
TIL... At least it was widely if incorrectly reported so I don't feel like a complete moron.
I swear at one point I even heard it was preformed by Roddenbery's wife.
I can see how the vocals of the opening theme might be mistaken for a Theremin.
One article also mentioned an electric violin so maybe that... but honestly listening to the theme music it just didn't sound like I remember.
