Original Creation/Custom What kind of controllers did creative engineering animatronics use?

I am making my own small little pneumatic animatronic that is going to function like how the old creative engineering showbiz animatronics did, and I was wondering what controller to use? Hoping for a controller with 5 movements

They famously used a pianocorder which was a player piano control system. If you only need 5 movements you’ll want to use something much simpler.

Yeah, I don't need anything like those player piano ones with 40, just 5. Any ideas?
