Jay Ducharme has the original 8 track tapes from various fun houses and other attractions from a now closed amusement park named Mountain Park. I always love random old-time audio of almost any kind, so I consider these haunting clips a must-save. There are some classic sci-fi sounds, a pirate’s den, and best of all: Zoltan the fortune teller (yeah, as in the movie “Big”).
From Jay’s site:
Here is a collection of wise sayings from that master of eloquence, Zoltan, backed by musical excerpts from Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite. This was a “hi-tech” spin on the old fortune-teller arcade machine that would give you a small card containing a paragraph or two of advice…
…You would press a button on the machine to correspond with your zodiac sign. Then you lifted a small speaker to your ear so that Zoltan would speak to you and you alone. There are perceptible phonograph scratches in the recordings.
How great is that?! Check out these samples:
