Something cute: [ATTACH=CONFIG]556171[/ATTACH]
The surface of the upper part of the machine is in terrible shape, as you can see: rough and pitted. But some of the gold decals have survived against all odds, and while swabbing off the arm I realized that the name of the machine was actually visible! I think this might have been an early version of the Venus; the decoration is not nearly as elaborate as on the picture of the one in the St. Catherine's museum.
