My father was the parking meter technician for the City of Tyler TX in the early 80s until 87 when they had a huge layoff. He and my mother both worked for the city and got laid off. Anywho. I would often go to my dad’s office after school or go to work with him when we had school holidays and he had to work. He knew how to disassemble and reassemble these Duncans blindfolded. He restored probably dozens if not hundreds of them, of course that being his main job. I bought him a semi-restored one off eBay many years back for Christmas. He loved it. I got it back after he passed away 6 years ago. One of my prized possessions!

After my grandfather retired from being a cop, they asked him if he would like to collect the money from these parking meters (1970s) They trusted him. Everyone did. He was a flatfoot in downtown Sharon PA his entire career. Never rode in a cruiser. Just walked all day long, checked in on the stores, he knew everyone. But he found he liked repairing the broken parking meters and I loved watching him. I have so many stories, he was my favorite guy in the whole world. He passed on 1/6/2000 at age 94. Never smoked or drank - him and my grandmother had 12 children. I miss him so much... Sorry for the story. This parking meter flooded my heart with his presence in my life.

They're awful green boxes in Chicago now, one per block/side of the street. You deposit your money or swipe a card, input your plate number, and it gives you a little ticket to put on your dashboard. And then, if you've got outstanding tickets, it calls someone to boot your car. Fantastic system. It's part of why I won't own a car in this city.

[@marchills4131]

Simply gorgeous. The only thing that seems more gloriously old fashioned than that red and cream color scheme is the very idea of 24 minutes of downtown parking for a nickel!

[@sasy1533]

Hi! I realice this comment was made 7 months ago, but I needed to ask. In my country this things don't exist, I've only see them in movies. Can you explain to me how it works? Did every single parking space have one? Like one for every car? What if you leave before the time is up, do they reset? Thanks in advance

[@DavidCiani]

@@sasy1533 Yes. One for each parking spot. Sometimes they mount two on one post and put it between a pair of parking spaces. And, no, they don't reset, they have no idea about a car or anything: you put coins in and it counts down the minutes to zero. You can put more coins in at any point for more time, but once they are in, you can't get them back. It was always a treat to find a meter that someone had left with some time on it... you get a few minutes of free parking.

If you were the one to take it apart, I would be highly surprised if you couldn't put it back together. When I was a little kid, my brother and I would take apart those little candy poopers, mix the parts together (sometimes doing a bunch at once), and then race to build each other's from the pile of both sets of parts. We stopped as they have been getting designed to be very flimsy. As anyone who has worked with them before will notice, he makes sure to show removing AND replacing e-clips. I forgot one once and nearly had my head bashed in. For anyone who was in FRC, imagine 4 cims wired directly to a battery (no controller) to directly rotate (no chain) a 4 foot, 30 pound bar.

Lucas Czekay yeah but in today’s value that’s still only $0.41.

It feels like 1996 was just some few years ago, not 23. Life is faster than it should 🤔

I'm just fascinated by clockwork mechanisms, mainly from how they can still function even after several decades.

[@Neosaur]

What's a clockwork mechanism ??

[@wintersbattleofbands1144]

@@Neosaur Um... wow. The mechanical timer in it, clearly shown working as he disassembles it. Do people under 30 really not know what's in a clock?

[@Neosaur]

@@wintersbattleofbands1144 I asked all my family members who are much older than 30 and non of them knew about how exactly a clock works, just that it's a mix of different gears turning

Great job! I also have a Duncan Model 60. It has an advertising top on it. I wish it looked that good. And many Thanks for not making a lamp out of it.

[@psirvent8]

How bad is it to make a lamp out of something like an old parking meter ?

[@Deeply-k3t]

I am amazed by the fact that you know where to put everything back at the end. Mind boggling!

[@korwynze6288]

what i love about these things that are being restored, is the fact you can take them apart reducing them to every seperate piece, which ALLOWS you to restore them. alot of things weren't made that way, to be able to come apart completely, if for example a piece needed to be replaced. things were made to last and those are the ones you can often restore.
