Space Turbo - Back in the late 70s and early 80s most portable electronic games were mechnical rather than digital. My client had two such games that whilst powered up refused to run. In both cases a number of cogs and gears had cracked or had missing teeth. These were replaced and both toys were given a service. They are both working perfectly and have been returned to the client so that they can enjoy them once more. They were so pleased with the outcome they have asked about future projects and have already sent our next challenge to us.
Matchbox 'Steer n Go' - Straight from the late 60s and early 70's this toy enabled you to take control of your matchbox car and drive it like the real thing. You could steer it, you had two forward gears and one reverse, you even had a key for the ignition. This set came to us in a broken and non working state. The restoration included repairing the entire steering mechanism, creation of new battery contacts in keeping with the style of the toy, replacement of much of the wiring and a service of the motor. Now fully working once again, it was a real priviledge to work on this project which is now ready to tbe returned to the client.
Dinky Toys - Back in the 1960s and 1970s, toy manufacturers were constantly coming up with new and exciting ways to engage kids with their toys. Dinky and these toys were no exception. All of the aircraft have working propellers which can be fired up by 'flicking' one of the blades, the ambulance has a working flashing light which is activated by pushing down on the model and moving it forward and NSU Ro 80 has working head lights & tail lights which are also activated by pushing down on the model. Restoration has included either cleaning or replacing the battery contacts or in the case of the aircraft taking apart the motors and giving them a service. All of the models are fully working, in lovely condition and are ready to be returned to the client.
