The Sands Mechanical Museum 
Renovations! The Museum has recently been renovated. Please let us know if you cannot view any of the exhibits, if the animations do not work, or if you have problems finding things. (For those of you that are technical, we went from a table driven format to pure Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Note: all our pages now validate!) The Sands Mechanical Museum The Sands Mechanical Museum contains many mechanical wonders, including antique coin operated games, nimble cars like the Super Seven and Elise, and unusual time pieces. While it is a virtual museum, many of the mechanisms are real and can be seen by appointment. The goal is to reference the wonderful world of mechanical marvels, to astound and amaze you with things mechanical, both old and new. We want to show you how things work. The arcade games are often ingenious in their design and construction. They seek to entertain. The Lotus Elise is a very advanced automobile, providing more entertainment than just the ordinary travel appliance. Welcome! We hope you enjoy your visit. The museum has three major wings: coin op game museum (http://www.coinopgamemuseum.com) pocket watch museum (http://www.pocketwatchmuseum.com) the Sands Mechanical Museum (http://www.sandsmuseum.com) 
Coin Operated Arcade Games Coin operated machines are the perfect thing to have in a mechanical museum. They are the results of the best creative minds of their time, and are built to entertain. Through time, they show the current state of mechanical and electrical engineering. Mechanisms see how the mechanisms inside the machines work Coin Operated Machines Chicago Express - an old pre-flipper pinball with ramps Confucius Say - a unique table from the 1920s Contact Jr. - historically significant, first to use electricity High Speed - an example of a full restoration Knockout - an old pinball machine with boxers fighting in the middle Ritz - art deco pinball, very simple Shoot the Bear - shoot at a ray of light at a little mechanical bear 
Nimble Cars (Automobiles) Automobiles are mechanical wonders. They can be basic transportation or they can be fun. These three cars all share one characteristic. They are nimble.
