Newbie dancing hamsters questions

Well, I've seen surplussed computers for $1. Maybe a 286 or so you could
strip for parts? Or maybe a PC and you could only use half the 8-bit bus.

It could work, but it would look less like dancing hamsters and more like
flashing lights, and you could use a frequency divider to make a drumbeat
with the telegraph sounder...
