In 1962, Patty Carey established one of the first public planetariums in the central United States in the Poultry Building of the Kansas State Fair grounds. That modest endeavor has grown into the Cosmosphere, a world-class space museum located in Hutchinson, Kansas. It all began with this projector.

Wheels, cogs, gimbals, dials and lenses, all the good stuff.

Modern digital projectors just don’t have the same appeal to me as a big traditional planetarium projector.

Things that whir and click and hum are infinitely better than dull electronics. The more advanced they become, the duller they become :/

Ah, but when you combine the two, you get magic, like Boston Dynamics.

I'm with you 100% on this one. I quit playing pinball when the manufacturers stopped using mechanical score counters in favor of electronic ones. That CLACK-CLACK-CLACK as the wheels turned over were a huge part of the experience for me.
