Carousel Post-Christmas Presents at K-Mart
By Devon Hollingsworth

Thanks to Joyce Brite who mentioned the music boxes that were being
sold by K-mart!  I went out and bought the last Ferris wheel for
$14.95, marked down from $19.95.  Then, the day after Christmas,
I got the $49.95 Carousel for half price, along with two other,
a little carousel for $7.95 and Santa's workshop for $9.95.

The musical arrangements are nice, though I don't really use them that
much.  I'm grateful for the volume controls.  The big carousel music
chip doesn't play the percussion or the melody, but I'm going to only
use it as a carousel anyway.

I wire these things to the pedal notes of the organ, and they move
when you play a note.  It's very entertaining and fun!

Thanks for the tips, and keep them coming.
