How to Build a Marble Machine The centerpiece for this marble machine are the gears. They lift dozens of marbles at a time and send them down an amazing track of twists and turns.

Right away I was hooked on the rush of arcane knowledge (why Oxnard was a hot bed of skate punk), the hunt for obscure releases (those Polish tapes smuggled through the Iron Curtain), the bands and concerts (AOF at The Turning Point!)
