Eddie Boes' web site (
visit link) contains a lot of great information about this sculpture. It has 5 switches that route the balls onto 6 possible tracks. There are loops, ramps, a funnel and even two drums that balls fall onto.
When we arrived the sculpture was turned off. We asked they manager to turn it back on, but had to wait until the people seated in the booth next to the sculpture left because the manager had to stand on the bench to unlock the case to get to the switch.
In the restaurant you will find some cartoons in picture frames titled "Rube Goldberg".
