Item History & Price
"Séance - The Voice From The Great Beyond" Talking Game
Manufactured by: Milton Bradley - 1972
Board game is complete with all original playing pieces and instruction booklet. Game includes: detailed seance room with floor, record player, 4 player chairs with colored bases, 3 cards on the mantel, 4 cards on the chest and 3 stock certificate cards with money, bank books and bankbook paper. The record player is complete with orange record and has been rebuilt w...ith new motor and belt to work at the correct voice speed. Box top and bottom have age scuffs / tears, repairs to the corners and normal edge wear.
Seance is the sequel to the highly successful 1971 "Voice of the Mummy" Board Game. The 1972 release of the "Seance" game included a redesigned record player. This new design was then included with the "Voice of the Mummy" game still in production. The removal of the turntable speed controller is the first item noticed. A "snubber" diode was added across the motor to combat arcing, loss of motor torque and provide an exact voltage and current drop for the new designed motor. This setup allowed the turntable to maintain an exact RPM to hear the voice at the correct pitch as the battery became depleted. The "Seance" designed player added a new tone arm assembly and needle design with 2 adjacent "Next Message" levers.
"Séance" Game Play Description:
A game for 2 to 4 players. The story: the players are the nieces and nephews of old Uncle Everett who has passed on and left a most peculiar Will. Old Uncle Everett was a spiritualist - meaning, he believed his spirit would come back and guide the distribution of his wealth. In his Will he requested his nieces and nephews come to a Seance in his old Victorian mansion. He left each one $20, 000 and a chance to make more - or lose some. The bulk of the estate and money went to Zeke the Parrot, but he has also given the players a chance to bid on and obtain other articles of uncertain value. Old Uncle Everett will "buy" them back, giving the players a chance to increase their inheritance. Old Uncle Everett's "Voice From The Great Beyond" will be conjured up in the Seance. Every time the hidden switch on the table is pressed, his voice will be heard. When the game is over and the room is plunged into darkness, it is said that the image of Old Uncle Everett may be seen....
Game is in very good condition - record player has been rebuilt with new motor and belt and adjusted to play at correct turntable speed. (see images)
