Looking to start your business but you want someone else to do the work. Enter Zoltar, the fortune telling machine. He accepts quarters and then spits out your fortune verbally and on a printed card. Who knows what your future holds. He might tell you, your financial future may be in trouble because you need to pay Hammacher Schlemmer $9000 to enjoy his company.

the classic animatronic fortune teller found in arcades, that stands 6 1/2′ tall, and augurs a spoken and printed fortune for you. Richly detailed with a handlebar mustache and beard, a gold head wrap, gold shirt, paisley vest, and jewelry, the bust of Zoltar stands in a solid wheeled cabinet of oak with birch veneers, finished in gold-and black-painted trim, and is surrounded by three panes of tempered glass. Zoltar acknowledges your presence and invites you to approach him. Once you insert a quarter (coins may be removed), Zoltar nods his head up and down as his crystal ball illuminates and he sweeps his hand back and forth.

If you prefer to save around $8980, you can go with this smaller version, which will produce fortunes without costing one.
