    I am 81 years old, ( & in the UK ) so when your channel was offered to me, by You Tube, I had to see what it was about. ( O.T. N. D. ) And I am so glad that I did, as your engineering skills, patience, & restoration knowledge, are remarkable!
    On our British, BBC one TV Channel, we have a programme called " The Repair Shop " which features ' experts ' doing work, like yourself, for members of the General Public. on family treasured items, that have fallen on hard times. And to watch skills like yours, being used to save for posterity items of age & interest is so absorbing. Thank you so much, for posting content like this. Well done young Sir, I have also subscribed to your Y/T channel. Bye for now, Brian, in the UK.

    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.

    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.

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?

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.

    Amazing restoration!
    For a moment, I thought you might give that poor jockey a pumpkin head, and his horse a wooden peg, but your solution was masterful!!

    I found watching this made me emotional, we quickly discard objects because of age and wear that are true works of art. Much respect to you Sir for the amazing dedication to your craft, it was a pleasure to watch.

    Hi. I have just dicovered your channel and find it fascinating and really relaxing to watch. The care and attention that you show is amazing - from the mechanical attention to the professionalism in audio and visual aspects of the production. I've even put some of your videos on in the background just to listen to the sounds while I've been working!

    This antique was fantastic even before it was restored. What a great thing to fix.

    I love what you choose to restore, if I saw this piece in a different circumstances I would wonder how it works. This spinning mechanism that looks like someone pushed the wheel with an automation finger is simply gorgeous

    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.

    I love how you took the time to deburr several of the parts, you took it beyond a restoration, to an improved version of the original object. That may be a big no no in art conservation/restoration, but in this cases like this 👍👍.

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I tip my hat to your skill and dedication towards the finished product, it's better than new. What's more is I've never seen one of those toys in my 60 plus years, but upon a time some youngster sure received a great present there.
