Haha I didn't realize this was posted by spider death. WHAT'S UP SPIDER DEATH? Even if this machine didn't work at all it has like this weird cold war art deco effing bakelite Soviet lamp gangster rap.....charm. I'd probably put my toy dinosaurs on it. But damn. That is way cool. If you have a strobe disc will you please measure rpm?
