The Electriclerk
Posted by on October 12th,2006I can’t really talk about retro and steampunk computers without mentioning the Electriclerk. Inspired by Brazil (I really, really have to watch that one day) and created as a prop for a game of live action Cthulhu. Under there is a Macintosh SE, ripped to bits and exposed to the air – and still working. That’s a flip down fresnel lens, and the keys were taken from an old typewriter.
The Electriclerk has been around a while, and if you go to the page you’ll find more pictures, and information on it. While you’re there, do check out the other beautiful Cthulhu prop they made – the Transdimensional Helmet. The mechanics behind it (several tapes with different ‘experiences’ on them) is delightful – and I’m sure I’d give my second last cog to play in a live action game run by these people.
