Harvey's Time Machine models compared to each other: Francois in Canada says on the Harvey Mayo warning pages on Don Colemans message board that "Harvey personalizes his creations. No two are alike. For example, the model that appeared in the many documentaries mentioned earlier combined elements from the miniature and the full-size model." This fact
is very valuable when to distinguish Harvey's models from each other.
Now shall we see how many models Harvey Mayo created... Model A: Made 1965
with a Tantalus box and currently owned by Bob
Burns. It was of course already built when Bob paid $1000 for it.
A crossing between the Wah Chang type and the full size type. This one
has a hand-painted dish and a Tantalus box. If the blue ornaments on some
pictures looks black, it depends on the quality of the color in the image.
The distinctive feature on the model is the form of the dish ornaments
and that the front of its wooden base is somewhat elogated comared to
the other models.
Model B: Wah Chang version with a Tantalus box ordered in okt 1997, for less than $5000 but higher than $3500, by Chris Perrotta when he lived in California, USA, and then sold via Ebay 2004 to Alan Nelson in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA. This model was lacking all the details when Chris got it in the first time in July 31 1998, as you can see to the left, and after much great trouble Chris finally got it finished 2003, as you can see to the right. This one has an unfinished console, the counterweight is white with a red hub and the dish ornaments are Wah Chang style. The yellow L.E.D. date lamp on the console doesn't light up. Chris got the Tantalus
box first in 2004, so until then he put the model under a glass-dome.
And the box smelled like fresh lacquer the morning he picked it up! After
Alan bought the model, Vince Winskunas built a Tantalus box for it. Chris
still have the glass-dome and the Tantalus box that's in the pictures.
Model C: was likely
made after 1995 since the decals are transfers and Harvey had Don Coleman
make the art work so he could have the transfers made. It was sometime
after Don moved to Burbank which was 1995. Sold to a unknown client in
London, England -- if he or she exist, in the end of 2004(?). This one
has also fewer black stripes on the Time Generator end caps than other
models.
Model D: Probably made
before 1978. This one has a hand-painted dish and is a Wah Chang type.
It also has a Tantalus box with a smaller knob than model A. Don Coleman
believe Harvey made it for someone who worked at JPL in Pasadena some
years ago.
Model E: Ordered 1987
by Don Brockway, but remained incomplete same year.
Model F: A Wah Chang
type with a Tantalus box ordered 9:th Juny 2003 for $6,500 by Frank Thetonia
aka "frankie" in Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA. Frank got
a 3/4 done mini model 2006, incomplete as it was, no rear pod decals,
no rosettes, no lamp cage, no cages on the control panel, a warped dish,
no red paint on shaft for lamp and a few other small missing parts. And
still nothing of the Tantalus box yet...
Model G: Ordered 2004
by "TimeDaughter" in Westminster, Colorado, USA. Nothing of
it yet...
Model H: Wah Chang
version with a Tantalus box ordered jan 2004 for $2400 by "TymerC"
in Palm Springs, California, USA. Nothing of it yet...
Model I: Ordered 1998
by a friend to "timekeeper" and "TymerC". He or she
exists but doesn�t want to come forward. Nothing of it yet...
Model J: Ordered 1997
by John
Rigg in Washington,
USA. Nothing
of it yet...
Model K: Ordered 2006
by "timekeeper" in Colorado, USA. Nothing yet of it, except
for a simple base and 1/2 of a curved rail.
Model L: Ordered 2003
for $1400 by a victim who
e-mailed Don Coleman.
Nothing of it yet...
Model M: Ordered in
an unknown date by a movie producer in California, known
by Frank.
Nothing of it yet...
Model N: Ordered 1995
by Fran�ois aka "timemachinewells" in Canada.
Nothing of it yet...
Model O: Ordered 2010
by a guy called "Grey".
In an insulting e-mail to me he says
that he has the model but he can't proof it. He is bluffing and still
waiting.
Model P: Ordered 2012
(or already in 2010) by a guy called "Ryan".
In an insulting e-mail to me he says
that he is waiting for the model. This guy is probably the same as "Grey"
here above because of the same explicit language in both e-mails, but
I am not sure. Only that "Ryan" is still waiting...
Remember that Harvey e-mailed Borim that he builds a model in only 4 MONTHS... Result since 1965: Thanks to Don Coleman, Don Brockway, Chris Perrotta and Alan Nelson for the information and better images. Thanks to all photographer for the images. But I still need more info and images! Posts without names are not good enough, I need at least the first name an the state/country. I also want the facts verified with five (5) stars each if possible. Is the names, the dates, the cost and the type of models correct? Mail me as soon as possible!
