I have one and they are fun to play.  Just like the game "Operation," you touch the sides and BUZZZZZZZ you lose.  I actually do better when I'm drinking.  That's the original  5c machine.  Mine is yellow and is a 25c machine.  These games sometimes came with a stand, but I'd say 95% were just used for counter tops.

Now we have another reason to drink...try the Booz Barometer, have a drink, try the BB again, have a drink...
or we could all go back to playing "Hi Bob" with the Newhart reruns or quarters or...??

I'd modify it to  give a shock back through the wand if the rail is touched.
