My neighborhood Goodwill has a half dozen carousels for old 35mm slide projectors. They look something like this: http/www.oddmix.com/elec/px/opt_rototray.jpg

 

It seems to me these might be incorporated into a scene somehow - especially as I am focusing on my mad scientist scene this year. Still, nothing specific comes to mind. I was wondering if anyone here has an idea.

 

I have so much stuff lying around, I can't really justify buying anything without a plan at the moment. I really shouldn't be looking for new props to plan either, but I seem compelled.

 

 

 

Any ideas? Anyone in the Mesa, AZ area who might want them? I can tell you just where they are if you have a need for them.

Thanks Ghoul Daddy!  They could make any number of prop pieces, as you have noted.  It would look good on a Tesla coil.


You know, it just occurred to me that these are very similar to centrifuges used to separate plasma from red blood cells.  Hmmm...
