    Default Surfing Machine Video

    OK, finally got the You Tube account set up. Only had to ask for a verification e-mail 3 times... Very short video, but you get the idea of how the machine works.

    Seems like they were trying some early versions of the modern functions (movement, lights). The Red/green lights are on the 24v circuit with the surfer's motor. The lights are hooked to a micro-switch that is turned on/off by a star-wheel on the back of the motor that rotates the surfers. Pretty rad...

    Thanks, pretty unique. I'll bet 3 more show up in the next month at 1/2 the price I paid (& LT will get 2 of them...).

    Very cool! That machine was a smart buy-I always skimmed over ads featuring those late model but pre-80's vintages. Just never had much interest in them. Until now.
