Yes, costly indeed. I would certainly take any opportunity to grab these machines for parts, even if they are too far gone to restore. Many of these parts are impossible to get at any price. I have turned the den into a spaceport. I will use Ron's technique to seal up the mercury weights on this machine, as several are leaking. One of the tall racks houses the AVI Omniscan laser projector, a sphere mounted on a motorized, telescoping pole emerges from the top.
And, the audio system sitting next to the AVI control rack. When everything is working smoothly it is the next best thing to actually leaving the planet in terms of immersive capabilities, and at times, sensory overload. I need Ron to help restore the magic as I currently have no star projector motion control after I removed the JHE boards.
