    Look what I found recently

    Some of you might have already seen my post on rec.arts.disney.parks but I wanted to show everyone what I purchased recently.



    I apologize for the small low quality picture. I snapped it using my camera phone and this is the only picture I have at the moment.

    This was the scale used in the former NASA/space exhibit in DL Tomorrowland. I am a big collector of pinball and video arcade games and this showed up at an auction in San Jose, CA. I was really shocked to see it here and I was 95% sure it was the one from DL. I remember this quite well and there were a few distinct characteristics about it that I remember from the park. I've been able to confirm that this is from DL after finding several tidbits relating to the park.

    Sweet! I can find my weight on the moon and use that on my driver's license from now on.



    But, I have to say, that's one hell of a bathroom scale you got there!

    Yes, it is. I had no idea how big it was until I got it home. It barely fit in the garage since the scale is about 8' tall. I have most of my pinball and video arcade collection in the garage and had made space for it. After unloading it from the truck, I almost cr*pped in my pants because I realize that it wouldn't fit in the area I just cleared out. I had to pull everything out of the garage and didn't get everything back in until close to 1AM. Needless to say, the neighbors were not pleased

    Here's a very nice site that discusses the NASA Mars Rover at Disneyland

    Notice anything in this picture?




    More on the NASA exhibit. Take a look at the pillars that separates each display and how they match the scale.

    It's like I've always said: "I'm not overweight... I just live on the wrong planet."
