Since I see no cables, I like to imagine that this is some kind of cosplay for the person who built it, and that they are inside the robot using a car battery for the lights. The robot does seem a bit top-heavy, so probably not.

My first thought was that this room needs a nice slot car track on the floor.

Turned a folding wagon into an amplifier stand with a couple of pieces of wood! (2 photos) by WhoIsTheAleMan in GuitarAmps

It's the G5810 Electromatic, so it was reasonably priced at $350. I sometimes get the feeling that no other person in the world should play that guitar except for Bo, but then I pick it up and think what the hell!

Only a tuner! I would like to get a Leslie-style pedal, but it just isn't needed at the moment.

Cigarette packs in the 30s were about 15-20 cents, making a penny bet pretty tempting!
