(...) I thought it was called a 'synchro' base. Anyway, yes, very cool. I tried building one without the turntables, but I lost my motivation.

Check every few seconds to see if the white is still visible if so keep filling, if not the hopper is full. i (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
