  Cool! I haven't seen one of those machines in decades.

  How does it work - I'd never seen one before.

  Cool - and it would print out for you or what?

  You read your weight off the dial in the little window above where it says "Your Weight". And when you pulled on the appropriate lever for your birthday a sort of "ticket" with your pre-printed horoscope would drop down into the red tray. These machines didn't print in the modern sense of the word.

  I get it - sort of like the fortune teller machine from "Big"

  Your weight/horoscope: "You're pretty fuckin' fat and you'll die of a heartattack or from choking...now give me a fucking quarter".

  HAHA, good point - it's easy to tell the future of someone who weighs 400 pounds...

  You shall soon meet the love of your life. The bad news is that it will be at a cross walk and she will be driving a truck.
