Restored MIAMI DIGGER, c.1932, w/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 casino color scheme of dimpled black enamel with red accents, and includes 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)
