The story
Turning the knob winds the record player motor which delivers power to the digit counter “teeth”, and intermittently triggers the lights in the eyes.
The lights are powered by a 9-volt battery which is turned on and off via the main indicator dial.
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
