I have had this urge for some years to make my work move...literally. I bought this former cassette recorder last weekend at a thrift store and took it appart to see if I could re-use the motor and other parts (my old electric toothbrush is next). I know nothing about electronics but that's half the fun. Now if I only know where I put my soldering iron.Have you seen the work of Arthur Ganson? It is some of the most hilarious, spooky, erotic, mesmerizing kinetic art. Check out the video's of his machines:

Which one is my favorite? Hmmmmmmmm......
I am not interested in making "machine" art. I want the mechanism to be as inconspicuous as possible. Honestly if I knew an engineer who wanted to collaborate that would be just the ticket...Let me know if you know anybody who knows about hobby electronics cause I could sure use some guidance here.
Hi Paul, I was poking around on the moly_x groups and wondered what you were up to and it led me here. I'd never seen Ganson's work before so I just wanted to say thanks for posting this. His machines are mesmerizing! Sometimes I love the internet.
