Description
This monumental penny arcade game is a recreation of a Watling machine manufactured in 1904 with less than a handful of originals known to exist today. A fantastic John Papa recreation with twelve made in total. Housed in a large quartersawn oak cabinet with brass details and a cast iron male figure mounted at the center. Painted to appear almost lifelike, allowing patrons to believe that they too can gain a similar physique by using the machine. The marquee reads "Vigorous Strength And Healthy Color By This Vibratory Doctor" as "Vibration Is The Law Of Life". For one penny, the rubber hand will begin to vibrate which then allows a vitalizing circulation to flow throughout the body. Pictorial instructions are arranged along the sides of the figure. Includes keys and a copy of Michael Papa's book "No Tampering! - A Guide To Papa's Re-creations."Keys: Yes Condition: (Excellent). Dimensions: 23"L x 44-1/2"W x 105-1/2"T.
