Fortune Teller Part 2

This is a coin-operated, animatronic fortune teller a friend and I made in his basement workshop out of a medical skeleton, a CD player, and a few circuit boards. It's called Fortunes From Beyond. It has 17 different 60-second fortunes, 3 15-second 'attract mode' fortunes, and a diagnostic track you can have play at power-up. There is a fog machine that fills up his casket with smoke after each fortune, and a baseball card dispenser just below that gives you a fortune card. My friend came up with the idea, built the cabinet, and engineered the animatronics, and I did the custom boards, the programming, the speech, and puppeteered the fortunes. (sample fortune 2 of 4)
