We had just walked near this when it began talking to us as if he were a live person. Very creepy if you're not expecting it.
Fortune-telling machines started to appear in arcades during the 1930’s.
Zoltar, the classic animatronic fortune teller found in arcades, stands 6 1/2' tall, and augurs a spoken and printed fortune for you.
Zoltar acknowledges your presence and invites you to approach him. Once you insert a quarter,Zoltar nods his head up and down as his crystal ball illuminates and he sweeps his hand back and forth. Zoltar provides 16 different spoken fortunes and dispenses one of 23 different printed fortunes in the form of a paper card. The fortune is dispensed from the front of the cabinet.
The size is approximately 77" H x 27" W x 25" D.and weighs 225 lbs.
