Updated Elevators!
The Fun Exhibits Ferrofluid Magnetoscope (tm) is now even more amazing!
New and improved magnet elevators now feature continuous rotation while the magnet platform raises and lowers, regardless of handle rotation direction, with no hard stops.
This robust family favorite continues to be zero-maintenance and will last for generations!
Earlier Fun Exhibits Ferrofluid Magnetoscopes can be upgraded with this backward-compatible improvement.
