The Maurice Machine Mini 3000 was made because "Beauty & The Beast" is being performed on a tiny stage. The machine needed to fit through a normal doorway and be light enough to be carried down steps and out to a holding area, but have a tight turn radius. This one comes in right at 29" wide, and can turn on a dime. There are 2 currently attached props that do NOT go with it - the lantern, and the small bellows. Still, it has lots of fun moving parts to attract attention. More videos are available on You Tube under the heading "Maurice Machine Mini 3000. (Update: The additional props have been removed.)
UPDATE: The Maurice Mini 3000 was loaned to another theatre group who beat it up like it was a wolf attacking the Beast. Due to the damage they did, we have cut the price to less than we paid for the parts to put it together! We spent about $200 for the parts - which were mostly from salvage yards. This does not include the many screws/bolts/tape/glue/paint from our own stores or the MANY hours we put into assembling it. I am sad at how they treated it, and even though I love helping local theatre, I will never loan this group another item. But that's beside the point. Our loss is your gain. This sucker fits easily in the back of a small truck. (We moved it in our Ford Ranger.) If you can come get it, you have a pretty nifty little machine dirt cheap.
