I would've loved this as a kid.

Wow, quite a toy! Had to be expensive when new, and deserving of the bids it's getting in 2018.

Way cool, but if you plan on using it regularly it should be recapped. :D:D

That's more than my Predicta cost.

Oddly enough, I see a few of them for sale on eBay! I would think one surviving would've been surprising.

I don't think there is anything to recap. It looks like it uses a reproducer like a victrola, no amp. Just a motor and a lamp.

He was joking about the recapping. The unit is just a toy Victrola with a story-board roll that appears to be rotated manually. For a kid back then it was pretty cool.

Sorry it was late and I didn't see the smiles.

Yeah, I was just kidding, it looks to be purely mechanical, maybe an electric motor and a bulb, but acoustic amplification.
