Hi all-

It's actually a regular-size Operation Game in the Toys: the Inside 
Story exhibition.  The small parts are gone of course, the graphic has 
been moved off to the side, and the metal plate is exposed so you can 
see how it works.   It's just as fun-- you get to make the light and 
buzzer go off!

You can see a photo of it here (#6a--double click on the photo and a 
hi-res image will open up in a new window):

It's held up really well-- I end up replacing one every year or two!  
The challenge is to find the classic game-- there are all kinds of 
variations (Silly,  SpongeBob Square Pants, etc.) available in local 
stores, but not the classic game so I purchase them online.   Needless 
to say, I have a great collection of spare parts for this wonderful 
exhibition including mini Hokey-Pokey Elmos, Jack in the Boxes, gears, 
hungry hippos, ...:-)
