I remember back in the early '70's going there as a kid, and was both frightened and fascinated by al the crazy exibits there. One I recall was a machine that for a quarter, you put your hands on these knobs, and the machine would vibrate the knobs. I thought it was electricuting me.. But it was all great fun, and my sister and I recorded a song in a booth which made a record. all in all this brought back memories... thanks you...

nice Artizan band organ! are the two drums hanging on the wall high above the organ hooked up to it now? Because originally, these drum brackets would have hung on the sides of the organ case. Chances are good that the owners of the curiousity shoppe created the niche for the organ, and in their enthusiasm, did not measure the clearance first! In consequence, the organ would not fit with the drums on, so they hung them up high on the wall instead. [I'm theorizing]
