Hi, in this video I attempt to fix up this unusual vintage horse racing board game, made in England by KAY London. I am not sure of the age, and I can't find out any information on this game. I guess it is approx. 60 to 70 years old, so around the 1950s. Let me know what you think. I found this one different and interesting. I hope you enjoy it.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

These repairs are much more interesting than modern electronics / consoles.

@eclectarama 3 года назад

I wonder whether this was given as a Christmas or birthday gift. I wonder how many hands it's passed through. Can you imagine the pure excitement you'd experience receiving this as a kid in the 50s or 60s? Love it.

@davidk6271 Год назад

The minute I saw the battery space I knew it was a 4.5 volt. Commonly used in bicycle lamps back in the day. The two copper prongs could be pulled up to make contact. I very much enjoyed this one. Thanks.

I think the 2 bulbs lighting together indicated a dead heat (tie) when 2 horses pass the winning post together? Loved this video, old retro toys are brilliant fixes... Bringing them back to life 👍👍

@standishgeezer 3 года назад

Ah, the bakelite switch and screw-in bulbs, so nostalgic (giving my age away there). As a 10 year old, I wired my bedroom with an alarm connected to homemade 'pressure mats' on the landing (very hit & miss with lots of false alarms 😂) which lit bulbs and rang electric bell when triggered. Switches, Bulb holders, electric bells etc. were so cheap then from the Army surplus store. Really enjoyed your fix here Vince. 👍

Every time I start watching a My Mate Vince video about an old toy it's like "no, it's an old toy". But I *always* end it up feeling: "what a passionate, lovely fix". That's it Vince, you can always make something that may be perceived as boring on a first look extremely interesting and a huge part of it is again, how passionate you are with every item you fix. Thanks for another 40 minutes of pure entertainment, glad to be a Patreon and encourage everyone watching this to become one yourself!

Love this video. It should be played in Primary schools to show that all electrical things don't have to be circuit boards and components but other things conduct electricity and can be used to make things work as long as the circuit itself connects.

@SaltySnallygaster 2 года назад

I love stuff like this. I've got a lot of older toys simply due to nostalgia that are worthless but I love them and I like keeping them working and cleaned up. This was a super chill video and I'm glad to see you got it up and running, again.

@endlesswanderer1753 Год назад

I love vintage electronics with big, chunky, hand-made traces on circuit boards. So when you popped this open and revealed those massive cardboard traces wrapped with foil I screamed "YEAAAH!"

My Mate Vince is the Bob Ross of tinkering. Just click on his playlist and go about my own fixing and building. Every intro is like watching a kid on Christmas morning. Darn therapeutic. Thanks mate!

The amount of people with pub sheds would bite your hand off for this game. Brilliant video and repair. Love classic vintage game repairs 👍

@jimchabai3163 3 года назад

This is a wonderful toy, and I love the box and artwork in it. I would have guessed 1940's, but 1950's could be right. This could probably be sold in an antique shop for decent money.

@alancordwell9759 3 года назад

I'm 62 and I remember those being around when I was in primary school- which would be mid 1960's and I think they were a few years old then!

@springy-2112 3 года назад

As I was born in the 60s this is much more interesting to me than all your video game techno wizardry computer magic stuff ! I never had a video game or console . I was too busy playing music .. I did play asteroids , space invaders and Phoenix down the arcades when I should have been rushing back to school after lunch break ! Late 70s early 80s . Great video Vince 👍🏻☮❤

Yet another great fix again Vince, no matter how old a toy is it will give enjoyment to someone somewhere.!!

@paultasker7788 3 года назад

That is absolutely fascinating. I wouldn't have thought enough current would travel down tin foil on top of cardboard. Some of it feels incredibly flimsy but it's held up well.

@finbah5706 3 года назад

that's the first time I've ever seen a framing hammer tool to fix an electronic toy. This is my all time favorite MMV video. I love the old, rare, hard to find, cheap, batt op games to fix. Like this one wood and foil. Great that you kept it original using foil to fix it instead of wires. Looks like a great toy to gamble with your friends with or play. Please, def NO more Nintendo Switch videos.

I, as a member of "The Geriatric Jet Set," I am thrilled to see toys from my era. As we are outnumbered by the younger generation of electro-technology persons. Being our technology was mechanical and included vacuum tubes and macro transistors and theirs has microprocessors. Our bad eyes and need of big screens for viewing, lessen our numbers in this streaming age. But we are here and revel in your content. My Great grandfather was born in 1899. I was amazed hearing him talk about the progression of technology that I took for granted in my youth and seeing what changed in my lifetime, Well... I enjoy watching you tinker with things, especially the rolls. Thank you!

@markbradley1975 3 года назад

A great and interesting fix Vince. Please keep finding more unusual items like this as it’s great to see something new like this on RU-vid. Keep up the great work.

@BrickGame96Rus 3 года назад

Hello from Russian viewer. In Soviet Russia, we had similar toys, but they were more roulette like type things Or "guess the animal" with a pen like stylus. If i had one, i want to put small motor under that horse disk, and a small sound chip with horserace sounds. Stylised 50s Push button on the side, when you press it, it starts 5 seconds spin disk and plays sounds.

@branman3336 3 года назад

This was quite interesting to me, it’s simplicity reminds me of when I was little kid making little circuits boards in this way, it made me happy to figure out how to make a little board that worked. This makes me want to build one of these for some reason. lol

Meanwhile, people are furious because CyberPunk 2077 should have had 8 years of development rather than only 6... We are so spoiled that these toys are like a huge slap in the face of our whiny generation. That's someone Christmas gift from back in the 50's, let that sink in =)

I really liked how you incorporated the names of your supporters within the span of the "actual" video, instead of at the end. It flowed very naturally and the pacing of the video wasn't impeded, since you *were still working on the project while doing so. Keep up the good work! *fix words I done wroted

Very nice to see an old toy like this repaired :) Never seen this kind of toy myself, perhaps my parents could've had something like this available in their childhood (both born in the 50's). I guessed the battery type though, used to see old pocket lamps with the flat battery type seen in the video. Now I have a modernized version of that retro pocket lamp with LED light and it uses now just AA batteries.

I had this game in the 1960s great little toy, loved taking it apart to see how it worked. Gave it away in the 1970s, then came across it again on a market stall in the 2000s (but didn`t buy it). They come up on ebay every so often and i`m still tempted to buy it.

@MikeB_UK 3 года назад

I believe that after WW2 there was a large amount of cheap aluminium available surplus from the aircraft industry. This is why Land Rover used aluminium panels, MGA body panels, and even some kit houses of the time were made using it. If this game is from 1950's then that may explain the aluminium foil. In many years of trying I have never managed to solder to aluminium wire, despite it supposedly being possible.
