Another fascinating mechanism!  That commutator was a surprise.

@OzziesRobots

A lot of complexity & once again would have made for a great space toy version !

@outsider238

Crazy amount of stuff going on in there! I'm fascinated someone invented it to begin with. Very cool!

@ucrash2

Amazing! They would never attempt these functions in this way today. It would be totally electronic.The mechanical movements and program disc was just mesmerizing.

OMG the detail, well teacher after this master class I have a lot of work ahead of me as I stare at the very same toy I own, the surgery I am about attempt on my car will be assisted by this video. I know that not all cars have the same issues and possibly more may arise once I have the patient opened up but at least I have a fighting chance. Thank you, once again.

Slip ring and heater element wire, that's new and interesting.🧐

@johndonaldson3619

Is it true that  most of the (Cragstan, Alps, TN etc) of the toys were all made in one big factory for each of the brands?

@Davidgoldenswan

Imagine what they would charge for something that completed these days πŸ™„ and they were relatively cheap back in the day 😁 these days it would be a couple of chips and guarantee to break in five minutes and they would still change you more for it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@machineman6498

That’s a great working toy!
Is it common to treat the metal?
How many openings are the tabs usually good for?
