The Bimbo Box is one of my favorite machines in the museum - I always put a couple of quarters in the box to see them perform. Last time I took individual photos of each of the monkeys - they can be found in this photo stream http://www.flickr.com/photos/itsvern/2466234181/in/set-72157604891811973/ It would be great to unexpectedly encounter a Bimbo Box in the wild, while walking the streets somewhere!
