Harvey Mayo and Bob Burns felt it necessary to put switches on their rebuilt or restored Time Machine and I don't think they knew EXACTLY the function of the switches. I beleive that George Pal overlooked the switches and during filming he realized their importance, so he cleverly had Rod Taylor go through the motions of turning on the switches and in doing so clearly demonstrated his intent and desire to have the switches on the console should a sequel or model of the Time Machine be made. And so it came to pass that models were made ignoring George Pal's efforts to show the existence of the switches. Only those that have scratch built or currently scratch building the classic Time Machine can know the frustration of the dilemma of the switches. In conclusion, let the record show that I am installing all 4 switches. I'm sure George Pal would have wanted it that way. And for those that strongly disagree, I have only one word: CLICK |
