was that behemoth originally put together?

Greetings Jon and everyone,

I had the "privilege" to work on the  Wake-O-Tron's parts at the
first Toronto workshop in 2000 and then hosted Chris Dale at our
New England home for 4 days in March 2001.

The double-Tron can be seen if you look real closely on  LP
cover of  "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" ,released in theUSA
in early 1973.  6-Wives was released sometime in summer 1973.
Perhaps those two machines were those destined to be siamesed
together with facing flywheels joined with sprrrrings.  -- Jerry Korb
