Anoter cool vintage electrical mock up is the "Indianna Jones" ride at Disneyland. It's an acient temple being opened. They have an old open construction type generator shack actually running (with an electric motor drive) but there is authentic antique engine sound effects. The old generator is very unstable and as it dips and chokes, the carnival type string lighting dims and blinks in sync. Of course in some underground vault there is some embedded microcomputer running the whole thing with a very state of the art VFD on the motor.
Yes, they are sticklers for detail.
