I took delivery yesterday of my MagnaLev ML5 yesterday! (I still can't believe I paid $479 for overnight shipping) After reading the article and seeing the photos, I couldn't wait!
It is so cool. I tried to spray paint it candy apple red, but could never get the can near the stand - that magnetic field is STRONG!!! (Maybe I should have turned it off?) I positioned it near my Zenith CRT television set, and now the picture is all wavy and the colors are weird. Also, one other problem. The BOSE cubes that I had nearby started levitating (who knew there was anything metal in those guys???), and my neighbor is complaining about his pacemaker acting up...
