Description:
One of the first best known machines is "Le Chocon Electriseur" manufactured by Maurice & Molle Paris around 1898. This German electric pig reproduction was made around 1950 and works as follows: after inserting 10 pfennig coin, you can operate the machine. The machine has German text. The right handle is turned while the left handle is held and the player receives an electric shock. The longer the player can withstand the electric shock, the stronger the current. The pig's eyes light up when it reaches 500 on the scale. These machines used to be very popular at fairs. Everything works properly and it's made from beautifully carved wood. The existing battery is empty, the machine works well on a 1.5 volt battery. To show that the machine works properly, we have connected a number of batteries externally. Size: 84 x 41 x 30 cm. Condition: Good.
