That has an elaborate gearset. Kudos to the designers and you for working it out.😅

You think 40 years ago some assembler thought “No one will ever see this”? Amazing work by the designers AND the restorer.

Another cool restoration. I'd love to see a documentary about the design of these or interview with a lead engineer on such a project. Imagine designing such a contraption without any modern CAD tools and making the whole thing on a tight budget.

These mechanical games are great - its like bringing home the 60s-70s arcade games to your home. Absolutely no way I could figure out how they work or fix one though!

Or even the handheld LCD games. I played the crap out of some Donkey Kong Jr on that flip out thing. These mechanical games are more interesting how they work than they are a game. Even though this one is kind of fun.

I had Cosmic Clash, Digital Derby, Tomy Pacman, Scramble, and Tron tabletop games when I was younger. I had them all on a shelf in my childhood bedroom, and I didn’t realize how cool it was. Once I had a Commodore 64, I ended up giving them all away. If I would have only known....

@RandiRain They were CHEAP, too. I can remember the sticker on the Tron and Scramble for Kay-Bee Toys. $9.99 for Tron and $7.99 for Scramble. Pretty good gameplay on both of those. (Scramble was my favorite) Good on your channel for showing these. A trip down memory lane for those of us who had them new.

No, the other one that I am working on right now has almost been thrown against the wall several times. I finally got it working, barely. You'll see soon. Also, on pro is speeds up and slows down, on amateur it stays slow.
