Not sure this machine would be allowed today

Or would it!! Found this photo of this unusual Watling "Vibratory doctor". He's a "big boy", that's for sure, but I wouldn't want to be seen shaking his third hand. Still the front card says, "no electricity" and, "try it, it is pleasant."

First seen example of the commonly used term "hoser."

'Allowed today', Paul?

They are (I am told) very common today. Like everything else since the fifties, the manufacturers have simply taken advantage of modern technology and made them smaller. I am told.

Yes, but are they coin operated? In fact what a good idea, keep the time short and the price high, make a fortune.

Also discussed here (with video).

I wonder how "popular" these things were. First time seeing such a "wild" machine...

Welcome to the site spiddy, There are a few strange ones like this around. If you search the site you will certainly find a Mills "tug of war" machine with an Alfred E. Newman face on the man holding the rope in a very strange position. If you visit www.penny-arcade.info you can see a lot more. The elephant win a prize machine on the Sega page is both crazy and (I would guess) addictive judging by the response of the two grown men playing it in the video.
