That is a brilliant thing. I've done a bit of tinkering in my time but this is another level.Should go to Bletchley Park. It could do with a name, maybe The Eccentric Engine?

Genius electronics engineer, but jeez he sucks at Tetris

 

I love things like this, the amount of passion people can put into things for no real reason other then their own love of it.
