Hi Darcy,

One of the legends at the Natural Science Museum in Houston is that the gravity well is about the only thing that kept the place open in the '70s! Apparently it was a very small museum (certainly compared to what it is now!) and the gravity well paid for the electricity, minimal maintenance, etc. I would be an advocate of your getting one. I've watched many kids (and big kids) put quarter after
quarter into the slot to watch it whirl down into the well. It certainly can't hurt!!

> We are a small museum in Southern Idaho.  We do not charge for admission, nor do we have a donation box of any kind.  It has been suggested that we "install" a "gravity well" donation receptacle.  Has anyone had experience with these &/or does anyone have one no longer in use that could be either sold or donated to our facility?    Thanks in advance.  Please, feel free to contact me directly.
