FS: Monkey Automaton
By Anthony Marconi

Sometimes there is a crying need for a monkey to accompany the organ.
Since I wouldn't keep a real monkey 365/24 with all its problems, etc.,
I assembled an automated version.

It's designed to be operated with a Pell street organ with 12-volt
outlet on the back).  However, it should work just fine with any other
organ with a 12-volt dc supply (or a 110-volts to 12-volts 'wall wart'
power module would work fine also).  It dances/moves to the tune being
played -- a built-in microphone triggers the action.  You stop playing,
it stops.  The monkey and base stand 9 inches tall.

$35 takes it now and I'll pay the shipping, or next month it's at eBay.
Questions answered, of course.  Photos available.
