Hypnodisc - That was the flywheel spinning machine that destroyed most enemies it came across.
I happened to live near where the original series was filmed, and our kids were invited to be in the live studio audience.
Attending that was a bit of a wizard of oz moment. Seeing how the magic of television was actually created - with the director yelling cut mid fight, so a house robot could be tweaked/saved from imminent death, kind of took some of the wonder away.
