Restored MIAMI DIGGER, with crate/stand
SOLD

This Miami Digger restoration is currently available.
The digger mechanism is completely restored by disassembly, refinishing each part, and re-assembly using new cloth-covered electric wire and a new motor. The case is finished in the "casino" color scheme shown and includes the etch-glass background mirror. It will play dependably and smoothly and will do so forever in home/collection use.
("I think this make of digger is more enjoyable to play than either the all-mechanical carnival machines or the fully electric machines because it gives the player skill-control over the sweep of the crane as well as the in/out movement of the crane boom during the electric cycle". - Jim Roller)
Here is a list of the extras that are included with this purchase: - A replica shipping crate which can be used as a display stand if wanted.
- An illustrated Owner's Manual.
- Photocopies of the Original 1932 Patent Documents.
- A signed Certificate of Provenance (the digger was in storage over 57 years and only ever owned by the inventor, his daughter, and James Roller).
- A 43 page historical booklet about the inventor and the digger with 13 old photos and illustrations titled "William Dana Bartlett's Miami Digger" - FREE SHIPPING included to any business address within the continental U.S. (a slight up charge is necessary for residential delivery)
This is a dependable, working, and quite historical digger machine - one of the last to be offered.
