My children used to have one like this, and now it's still used by my grandchildren, but this one is less noisy, more relaxing.

That's terrific Guy! My son had Marble works and I thought that was fascinating too.

Hello Guy,

Wow that is really cool!!!

Did you use paths for the movements or is there some physics involved?

Thanks Larry and James.

No, I did not feel confident to use paths or physics. Next time ?
For each of the balls I made the necessary locrot keyframes - one at the end of each straight line, 11 per ball.
I changed the control points in the graph editor to vector to ensure straight lines, because otherwise the ballls would follow a curved path.
I probably could enhance a little where the balls drop out of the gutters to make it a curved path there anyway.
