Description :
Vintage Answer Machine Robot in brilliant
color and good shape for his age; circa 1963 from Ichida of Japan. Green body,
yellow base, brown face, and a rainbow of other colors on this tin litho
beauty. We are not sure exactly how he works – we put 3 “D” batteries in him
and checked the levers on his chest – the “C” lever makes a sound & very slowly spins the pinwheel on the top of the head, the “T”
lever lights up the chest cavity & lifts a little curtainlike shade to show
numbers behind, the “+ & -“ make sounds and light up the respective + or –
red eye on the head. The number keys depress, but we couldn’t figure out how to
do calculations or if it even still calculates. (We leave that for
the new owner to figure out.) Wear to the robot is minimal given its age – some scuffing on
the outside surface of the shoulders & back of the head are the most
noticeable. See photos for details. Also included are two original scratchpads
emblazoned “answer game” and the original box which is in poor shape.
Dimensions : 16 in H
