I BOUGHT A TOY SOLDIER CLAW MACHINE

[@any123-og]

The music is not pre recorded. It is played by a YM2413 OPLL Chip.

[@robloxfan23_]

Released by coastal amusements in 2004.

[@BRIGHTAttraction]

Thats a very nice machine. The older ones are much nicer in my opinion. (And the Wu Mar Harng logo on the gantry is much better than the CA one) haha

[@Taco_Tantrum]

I’m the older ones have more character for sure! I like old and new though

[@SaltyCameron12]

HJUHJUDHJUA WHATTTTT OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are awesome bro! A TOY SOLDIER WOW!!

[@any123-og]

I think the newer ones have silver Wei-Ya supplies.

[@Hydraulic160Official]

That’s a Paokai Version!!!

[@game-azing]

3:09 That's a crocodile. It does not have the Coastal name anywhere on the machine so its probably the Taiwanese version

[@YancieYabbie]

Because Coastal Amusements Is The Distributor Of Paokai Machines

[@slime18466]

Nice

[@ArcadeCited]

I've seen this claw machine a few times, 1 I know is at a restaurant

[@Ryan-pp7tt]

Could you advise what lock did you use to replace old locks? I have one exact same but no keys, thanks

[@Taco_Tantrum]

@@Ryan-pp7tt It might look the same however there’s tons of different key variations. You can find good deals on Amazon for barrel locks

[@ScammerStudio]

Super cool video! I used to despise early 00’s Toy Soldier machines. Some local restaurants would have them installed and I spent god knows how much trying to win (50¢ per play back then.) on those plushies lol. I remember how bright these machines used to be! They’d light up room with the rope lights! It’s awesome you were able to get it working! I’d love to own a claw machine myself someday, but you seem to really know your stuff at just 16! maybe in the future you can install LED’s where the Rope lights are. Great video!

[@Taco_Tantrum]

I’ve wanted a toy soldier ever since I was little kid. They really are a classic for me and most are still 50 cents to this day! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@CaptianNamco]

Great video there's a claw machine that acts like it wants to eject like that did it was at a pizza man in Newton Illinois etc there's a Toy Soldier at the bowling alley in Fairview Heights it has balls in it and they have it where the claw opens up and because of that I barely won a ball

[@Taco_Tantrum]

Yeah I’m glad you noticed that! It’s such an interesting feature and the newer models don’t do it but the older models do it! I noticed the ones at gophers grill do the eject too.

[@CaptianNamco]

@@Taco_Tantrum yup the two one dollar claws both do it and yet the claw strength I don't think is up all the way

[@Taco_Tantrum]

@@CaptianNamco Yeah the strength doesn’t have to be up all the way for it to happen. It will still go below the set strength for a split second and then bounce back up

[@CaptianNamco]

@@Taco_Tantrum that is cool

[@SaltyCameron12]

How do you print out the 1 dollar to play stickers can I have a link or something to the website?

[@Taco_Tantrum]

I custom made them myself actually. If you want I can make you some as well

It doesn’t work the best but it does work about 10% of the time

[@Taco_Tantrum]

@@harrisonthomas4507 Yeah it says “congratulations you got it”

[@YancieYabbie]

In the USA, the music is replaced with on the floor and is distributed by Coastal Amusements. In another country like yours, they have this music and they are distributed by WMH/Paokai. Also, this claw machine was released in 2004. In another country, there are toy soldier 2 claw machines (Also made by Paokai) out there but they are not around the USA.

[@arcadeclawpro2851]

I remember the Parkway Diner (in Elmwood Park, NJ) used to have a Toy Soldier (which cost $2.00 to play and it is Play Until You Win).

[@brianwilliam4186]

Great Video! I just had a question... I just got one of these toy soldier's and I'm in Italy but when I opened it up to change the strength of the claw, there was only the volume knob and and not the other two knobs for adjusting the strength. Do you know if it's possible to wire up new ones and if so do you have any schematics to do so? Thanks!

[@Taco_Tantrum]

@@brianwilliam4186 You can definitely wire in new knobs. Are you sure the strength isn’t adjusted digitally. I’ve seen a few where the strength is changed via an LCD screen

[@brianwilliam4186]

@@Taco_Tantrum wow thanks for the quick response! How can I check if the strength is adjusted through the LCD? That might be the case since it's a European model of the same machine

[@Taco_Tantrum]

@@brianwilliam4186 If it has an LCD screen inside of it, check for things that say “grip” “claw” “claw voltage” “claw strength” “claw power” ect.

[@brianwilliam4186]

Okay I'll check now... Any trick for changing the string also? It came all jammed up and had to cut it to free it but where it attaches on the cap that the claw attaches to, I don't see any way to get it out?

These and lots by paokai are more well made machine, i don’t own any claw machines (and have nowhere to put them besides the corner of my room) but if i did think of getting one i would definitely look out for this

[@Taco_Tantrum]

Yeah I like paokai because they last a long time! Coast to Coast and smart industries are also really good too

[@juleksaas4144]

C.A stands for Coastal Amusements, the company that distributes paokai machines

[@Taco_Tantrum]

Yep your right!

[@clawtimevending]

Nice Video! I definitely want to get a toy soldier some day, they're probably one of my favorite claw machines.

[@Taco_Tantrum]

Yeah they are very easy to operate and the settings are very simple too! I love the physical strength knobs too

[@YancieYabbie]

​@@Taco_TantrumPaokai Electronic MAKE THEM Since before that coast to coast entertainment not a distributor of paokai any more now ,and Nowadays now coastal amusements inc is the distributor of paokai claw machines

[@YancieYabbie]

Just kidding it's by coastal amusements INC

[@nadiastoysday8927]

I wisht my mom and dad let me have a claw machine

[@Taco_Tantrum]

Here’s an idea for you, they sell commercial mini claw machines for about $400 on eBay brand new. Maybe they would let you get that since it doesn’t take up much space

[@yuhjeice7186]

Nice vid always wanted a claw machine what would you reccomend for a newbie?

[@Taco_Tantrum]

I would recommend looking for a used one on Facebook marketplace and I would recommend a Coast to Coast machine since the settings are very simple to understand

[@yuhjeice7186]

@@Taco_Tantrum thanks a lot 👍🏽

[@kylen.6742]

Anyone out there help me repair one of these?

[@Taco_Tantrum]

I know how to repair them. Do you also own a toy soldier?

[@kylen.6742]

@@Taco_Tantrum Yes, I got one used. I called Coastal but they were not helpful. Guy was kinda rude and was like, "could be anything" but you can send the board in for checkout for $300

[@renvill4989]

How do you set the claw? Recently bought one. The claw only goes up and down but when your holding on to the drop button it goes side to side

[@Taco_Tantrum]

If you got a toy soldier it sounds to me like your machine might be in the gantry test mode. Holding the free play button and rebooting the machine will cause this as a test mode.

Can you change the music on these?

[@Taco_Tantrum]

You can’t change the music on toy soldiers unfortunately. There are a few other songs but they come pre installed and are specific to the year of the machine

[@SaxaboomJamz]

Shoot I was thinking that was the case. In my opinion the sound chip in newer toy soldiers suck. I prefer the sound chip you have in this video.

[@Taco_Tantrum]

@@SaxaboomJamz You could buy an older board and swap it out. All the boards are forwards and backwards compatible which is nice
