Vintage Military Police Tin Toy 2

This is the follow up to Vintage Police Tin Toy 1 and shows how I make a control box from a electrical connector PVC box. I still have to iron out some faults in the box but it works. Everything with these tin toys is a bit testy as they are factory built and when one restores them one upsets the factory assembly and tabs get bent and things move out of shape. They are not the best engineered p...

This vintage Military police tin toy was picked up while travelling through Europe. It needs restoration and at the moment it's finding ways to restore these toys without spending a fortune on original parts. it seems that everyone is selling these parts at a crazy price after one adds in shipping especially to Canada so I'm trying to restore these on a reasonable budget. It may be easier to bu...
James Bond Tin Toy Car Restoration 2
Переглядів 12210 місяців тому
Just working through the problems with this James Bond tin toy. It's in bad shape and the gears are damaged. Finding parts is the problem with these more expensive toys as everyone wants to sell original parts at a premium price and the restoration becomes too expensive. I'm working around this problem but it has taken a long time to work out parts for this car. Most likely the most difficult t...

James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 Gilbert Aoshin, Made in Japan 1965 battery 11" tin car. I have had this James Bond tin toy car for many years and I have avoided restoring it as it needs gears and I could not find spare parts until now. The wiring is a mess and the gears are badly damaged. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Some of the parts will have to be made as they are not available.

Vintage Schucco Real Mercedes 230SL
Переглядів 10511 місяців тому
I was visiting Peters collection and we took a look at a Schucco Real Mercedes 230SL that needs restoration. When broken they go for $100 to $300 Cdn but once restored can go from $500 to $1,200. We look at this tin toy and evaluate the repairs and how it works. Maybe next time we will see it running. It has a gear shifter that changes the gears from 1,2,3,4 and reverse. "Amazing"

    Thanks Willy. Good video. Also, you have helped me. I bought JB Weld but wasn't sure it would do the job I wanted, which is repair to a very attractive metal plant watering container. If you trust that product, I am definitely going to try it out for my project.

    • @willydahm-di1rx

      Sand the area needing repair so it bonds to metal. One can prime and paint J&B Weld afterwards.

    Instead of mechanical paint removal (and the risk of damaging the cast zinc), try using a chemical stripper. It has to be safe for zinc of course

    First comment! Have you or anyone done an improvement to these Hubley cars in regards to using machine screws instead of the coarse self-tapping screws? I'm not crazy about the self-tapping screws and was wondering if it was feasible to tap the axles for metric or imperial threads and maybe even add hex head button screws on the wheels. Hex head screws would give a marginal improvement to the appearance of the "hub caps" over the obviously non-scale slotted screws.

    This catalogue is not the 1947/48 catalogue (the USA catalogue 1947/48 does have the same cover page, but has other content). This is the first prewar stapled Dinky Toys catalogue UK of November 1939, 3rd Printing. You can see this from the print code on the last page 2/1139/20 (3P). Three printings of this catalogue have been published, also printcode 2/739/10 (1P) July 1939 and printcode 2/939/20 (2P) September 1939. The first 2 Printings with 14 pages and the last with 10 pages. I own all three. Beautiful catalogues of these nostalgic Dinky Toys period. I am a collector of Dinky Toys and Dinky Toys catalogues and gives me a lot of pleasure.

    Hi, how did you repair the tip that snapped off? Ours snapped off as well and it seems the rod end screws into the tip which means the screw will need to be drilled out and new screw welded to the rod end?

    • @willydahm-di1rx
      @willydahm-di1rx 10 місяців тому

      I need a hardened drill to drill out tip. One could braze a thread in place. One could weld a tip on the end and clean it up without drilling but would it effect the activator. I doubt it! The company should replace these faulty parts but they do not. "sad" I may weld the piece in place if the broken thread does not come out.

      It's a James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 Battery operated 11" tin car. Year 1965 by Gilbert/ Aoshin Made in Japan No control box so I'll have to find one or make one! Still trying to work out the machine gun lights as they strain the gears and motor when they go in and out. Maybe why the gears are split and broke. Maybe a faulty design! I'll be another while working this one out.

    The Model T Santa Special. I had that model until a rather unpleasant boy at school took it and threw it against the wall in the playground.What was his problem? Some good memories too,the Southdown Gliding Club Triumph was a favourite. Our local hardware shop had a full length display unit built into their counter,stocked with Dinky cars,small boy height. Very clever.
