They just closed most of the FAO stores, so that would have been a good place to get one. The one hear in town has one end of the tightrope attached to a clocklike device, with the arm making a rotation about every 5 to 10 seconds. Gravity is the only source of energy for the monkey. All of the potential energy come from the raising and lowering of the end of the tightrope.
