  • If only I had an Elektro... I'd need a 220 to 110v stepdown transformer that handled 1000 amperes to run him.

  • During most performances, the human "operator" was a female, which is why Elektro called them "Toots" during the show (seems kind of peculiar to have him say that to a male operator).

  • I'm so glad we have our flying cars and food in pill-form nowadays!

  • I can't believe I found this clip from that World's Fair show I saw on PBS a zillion years ago!

    You really CAN find EVERYTHING on YouTube. Thanks for posting!

  • Now if he could sing "Robot Rock"

  • Wow.... Just ... wow, i Love to see stuff like this, how they thought the future would be like back then... Retro at its best.

  • Great video! It's really hard to find good videos like this with sound and such. Thanks for posting!
