@@RandiRainquestion here on what you've referred to as a wax pen. Details please on this tool or possible link please. Thanks ahead of time for whoever might be able to get me info!
If anyone ever remembers the Armitron robot the one that was sold to RadioShack / candy back in the day. There is something with some more accept is a manual version of this sort of thing with the planetary gear type of clutch system I guess could call it. Interesting thing on this one it was a 2-speed if one would move the controls slightly on the Armitron it would catch the first one and further would catch the second. Essentially that whole mechanism was but I'm continuously rotating shaft there were two look like on many of the products from the same manufacturer. Along the parts seem very similar in terms of design of the gears wondering most of the products from them would use the pretty much the same types of gears sausage Sizzle on at least partially. You'd think that they would try to use same parts were possible to reduce inventory did not have to have so much production for different parts if not needed. And on this channel I've noticed that I'm all the gears are somewhat similar sized number of cheese and Swan similar shaft sizes as well. How to fix too many things that would have noticed is otherwise but it seems to be pretty much this way but just wanting some feedback Definitely pretty ingenious
Not only that, but they were very likely limited in what gears they could use. Most if not all of the Tomy EM games share most of the gears. Given all the custom (meaning only useful in this particular game) parts, they were probably limited in creating new gear mechanism parts. So when they assigned the game to a team, they said make the logic of this work with existing parts. If you think this is cool, you should see some of the old jukeboxes.
There is someone who wants to send me one, is that you? I just haven't had the time. I had kidney stones a few months ago and have set me back big time.
I have a couple of these kinds of games, they just fascinate me, there is something oddly visceral about feeling the mechanics move under your hands too.
I think everyone might have been that way and one way or another honestly. Of course back then no one would have realized the demand for stuff from back then and and devalue actually keeping it and keeping it in good shape and working even if played with. It's one thing to be an absolute pristine collector which I'm not and another that just appreciates the thing is it is and worth Nostalgia or even just otherwise maybe something for the younger family generation to play with as well. That's harder to find something that quality anymore these days it seems
Side note did this way do many of those things once they outlived their let's just say play ability and just no longer use them and kind of fell into the back of the attic as one could say. However even is a young person I was a maker they like that wound up getting used in something else it was a way to make it go further and live on sometimes. As a matter of fact we have rule at our place if something was going to go out no longer work was beyond repair and so on. If there's anything that would be of use at all whatever the thing was what get scrapped for parts that were still usable or otherwise. Sometimes Ron even down to the hardware that held the thing together in some cases you be surprised at where you'll use something you don't expect to use it. And being an adult fails Lego I've run across stuff that I had built for this from said things many a Time. I had built a lamp flasher years ago using magnetic Reed switches the consent mechanism from a answering machine tag strips mounted to a existing screw hole what the Reed switch is soldered to it and two magnets on the large pulley. Have that set aside still but waiting to be mounted to something to be used in future projects! Showing times since had blinking LEDs and so on a flashing miniature incandescent bulbs of course all that would be done the same way. I've got little lean what seems like dozens of grain of wheat bulbs and more even indicators more stripped out from audio equipment still using it to this day for the stuff. Almost every year after breast was season more of the same! Still use the old Mini Light flasher bulbs all the time
Oh already an older video. But it's a great game. I have the same, but with the name "Terra hit" with Space Invaders theme and objects. But it's the same game / mechanic.
Yeah, TOMY stuff had different names at different times and parts of the world. I will probably use this as one of my TOMY trivia questions at some point, remember it.
I had two of these. The first, I got when it came out in the 70s. In the early 2000's I dug it out, but it didn't work anymore. I went on Ebay and bought another. That one didn't work either. I took it apart, but wasn't capable of fixing it. I threw them both out. I should've saved them. I'm totally capable of fixing them now. I wasn't an Ebay seller yet either, so they just went to waste.
so just how expensive is the mold max where you live? I checked a online store over here and there are only like 3 of them for sale and they all go for about 80 dollars or higher
$80 for what size. If it's the gallon size, that's a good deal. If it's the pint size, not so much. A gallon is usually about $120 and a pint is about $40 after shipping and what not. You can't just order from here? www.reynoldsam.com/product/mold-max
