Restored MIAMI DIGGER, Silver gray/fleck 1932, w/crate

The restoration shown here is the late 1940s - early 1950s style in silver and fleck.(Other colors are shown listed separately.)



The digger mechanism has been completely restored by dis-assembly, refinishing each part, and re-assembly using new cloth-covered electric wire and a new motor. The case has been completely rebuilt including the etch-glass background mirror. It plays 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"
- Flat Rate shipping within the continental U.S. to your door by a premium carrier for $145.
