Condition: a good mechanic followed the instructions of this kit fairly well and has the basic layout correct. However for power he has used a regular English fusee movement from a pub clock, and it simply does not have enough power to run beyond the first few hours of spring tension. If you enjoy tinkering, this may be for you. In concept the ball travels the zig-zag route on the platform and releases a latch that allows the table to tilt in the other direction, at which the ball begins moving in the opposite direction. Height 12.5 inches, 32cm
