My aunt had something like this when I was a kid and I thought it was the absolute coolest thing. I also wasn’t allowed to touch it because it was so expensive, so when she was out of the house my cousins and I would carefully gather around it while our grandma operated it 😂

That’s so cool you got to experience it first hand when you were young!
