It is hard to imagine it nowadays with all our technology and plastics and throw-away society- but just picturing a child getting this as a gift back "in the day"- it must have been amazing. Bright colors, shiny metal, heavy, multiplayer, a mechanism that makes the horses absolutely fly around the track, betting against your friends... I bet this was a favorite toy for many years.

[@gerardvinet8448]

This is not a toy , most probably an antique item , for a collection .

[@AbuMaia01]

I don't think it was a children's toy, but more a gambling game for a bar, likely to try to get free drinks.

[@blackhawkswincup2010]

One of these games was used as a prop in the movie "Dave," about 1996 with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. Dave was a D.C. temp agency owner who impersonated the President. This was one of the games in the White House. Dave's game was powered by a crank, and rang a bell when the race was won.

[@garyjones2582]

Dave was a great movie.. Kevin Klein was a great actor... He should have been in many more movies...

That simple repair for the jockey using the two part putty as a mold blew my mind. By far my favorite restoration yet! Outstanding craftsmanship

Never knew I liked antique restoration, looks like a great hobby.

[@rhuttrho88]

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle! Yo Joe!🫡

Looks like a great Hobby not to mention that it seems like it could be very profitable! This looks like it can be sold to a collector for a very high value

[@darkstar4097]

I'm blown away with the attention to detail such an amazing restoration you sir are by far my favourite restoration content creator thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos

[@OldThingsNeverDie-]

Thank you very much 👌😉

[@genericalfishtycoon3853]

​@@OldThingsNeverDie-Seeing as you did such a great job restoring it but went down to the brass instead of re-coating the chrome, I'm guessing that's a pretty difficult and demanding process. Would an electron sputtering machine be capable of putting down a good enough layer or would it just be too soft especially for a coin dish?

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

I was surprised by the easy disassembly, and I love your attention to detail on the repaint. Absolutely gorgeous restoration, and I love your videos!

[@09h13]

The objects you restore are amazing, man, I had no idea this existed, but it looks fun! Awesome restoration as always!

[@Movman82]

I could never trust myself enough to take something apart, much less restore it to a better state. Impressive.

[@alanrogs3990]

I know. I could take it all apart and then look at it and say, impossible.

[@TheNich29]

I get overwhelmed watching you take it apart you're amazing that you can put it all back together

[@jasonireland9285]

This was a beautiful restoration, and I think good call on the brass cup, really draws the eye. The simplicity of the mechanism is really a show, I think it would be very cool to have one of these

[@acerodriguez6884]

That's exactly why he shouldn't have done brass, you want the horses to be the center of attention with all their color. Not the dang pot you put the money/bets in. Should have done chrome

[@hughbegg274]

He had the nickel finish for other pieces, I am with you. But really, outstanding job!!!

[@WolfgangEysholdt]

Es ist unglaublich, wie viel handwerkliche Mühe man sich einst gab um Spielzeug herzustellen. Heute wird alles lieblos aus Platick gegossen und wird genauso lieblos behandeldt und dann auf den Müll geworfen. Tolle Restaurierung, bitte weiter so. Es lohnt sich, diese alten Schätze zu retten.

[@dougallmcmillan8970]

I don't know how long you spent resuscitating this item but I can only admire and applaud your dedication to the task and your attention to all detail. You are truly gifted

[@jm7804]

I hope the new owners get another 100 years of enjoyment out of it. Wonderful restoration. Any collector would love to have this piece.

This person is an absolute master of his craft. He is also a perfectionist. I sat here watching the entire video and was transfixed at his artistry. Thank you for posting this incredible restoration.

[@rojocuarzo]

I just wanted to write a comment here to express my appreciation for your excellent videos, as I find them outstanding, not only for the ability to restore something "old", but for the way you display your videos. For example, a great success is not to add music or elements that are distracting. The sounds of the brushes, hammers, sandpapers and other tools that you use in your restorations have something magical that relaxes a lot. Thank you very much for sharing your videos and I hope you keep doing this. For me, they´ve been an extraordinary discovery!

[@Krwak]

About the music part, i completely agree that this is an excellent choice while making the videos.

[@a4aLien]

Thank you for this elaborate comment, I stand with every word you've said in appreciation of this guy's videos.

[@kane357lynch]

I would agree this is art. Its not repeatable and has a human touch the entire time despite any amount of machinery.

[@DoomFinger511]

This was a cool restoration. I don't see any other channels doing old mechanical game restorations, it is very interesting. You could make a playlist of just those items. I thought it was brilliant how you remade the broken pieces from the horse racer!

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

These restoration guys never cease to amaze me with their craftsmanship acumen. Every time I see the beginning of one of these videos where they show the old rusted, beat up and damaged item, all I see is garbage; while they see potential. I really wish I had the eye, understanding and capability to do these restorations; it seems like a really neat and rewarding hobby.

I have never seen this game before, but you have done a marvellous job of restoring it. I can imagine children having lots of fun playing with this at Christmas after being given it, and even the adults joining in too. It's such a worthy addition to your catalogue of restored items.

Guys! He touched the BUT! Gorgeous restoration as always! lovely to see old things get the love they deserve anew

[@juggenbugger]

Refreshing to see a genuine restoration where it hasn’t been deliberately buggered up first.

[@RMJ1984]

This is some amazing work. But one think i always find tricky when watching restoration videos is how much is too much. At what point is it no longer the original and at what point is too much of its history lost. When you look at it before hand, all the wear and tear, it obviously tells a story about what and how much its been used.

[@dennisneo1608]

When the machine was first made, was it all worn??

[@timjackson3954]

Lovely. What a labour. It reminds me of when I was about 9 years old, at a fairground, watching a mechanical horse race game. After about half an hour I realised I was predicting the winners, and said so. I don;t know how, there must have been some sort of sequence I suppose, I have always had 'machine empathy'. I was quietly asked to leave.

Дружище ты мастер, одна просьба к тебе если у тебя на токарном станке единственные каленые кулачки, отшлифуй их. Либо берез зажим кольца упором в спираль Архимеда или через зажим кольца в проточке торца кулачков. Возможно конечно биение уйдет даже если ты кулачки через разжим шлифанеш но мало ли.
