Restored MIAMI DIGGER, with crate/stand, FREE SHIPPING

The digger mechanism has been 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 original color scheme of Bartlett's earliest diggers of the late 1920s - early 1930s 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:
