Make: Online : The ElectriClerk

The ElectriClerk

The ElectriClerk is a fully functional 1988 Mac with a 1923 Underwood typewriter made by Andrew Leman... - "Built for a game of Cthulhu Lives! that has yet to be played, this piece was inspired by the retro-futuristic machines in the movie Brazil by Terry Gilliam. It was one of the most difficult and time-consuming pieces I've ever attempted. Despite the ridiculous amount of abuse I subjected it to, and despite the fact that all its components are now exposed to the air, the 1988 Macintosh SE which forms the heart of this piece still works just fine." - Link.

Hey, PT, Andrew is a good friend of mine. You've typoed his name though. His last name is Leman. AHLeman is his first two intials and his last name.

And while your on the site, make sure to check out the silent film version of "Call of Cthulhu" we made.
