Dump-O-Matic

Built approximately 1982. This page written February 26 2005

Kids are cruel. And geeks will be geeks. Given those two facts, the only thing that is better than lurking on a balcony above the tent that your sisters have set up directly beneath, waiting to tip a bucket of water on their heads as they emerge, is to automate the process, or at least make it remotely controllable. And thus we bring you the dump-o-matic.

Not much needs to be said that isn't obvious from the pictures. The solenoid once triggered the slide advance in a slide projector. The container is a tobacco tin.
