Toys-of-fu…
(1 item)
Old 1941 Marx tin Dumbo wind-up toy. I believe this was introduced to coincide with the original movie release back then. Normally when the key is wound, the toy would pop up at different intervals.
I noticed though, that when you wind the key there is a lot of tension and the key does not "lock" into place at any time. If you were to release the key, it would just fly back into place. I have not yet taken the toy apart to examine but if anyone here would know how I might repair this (If possible) or what to look for, that would be just great. It really is a wonderful little toy.
Wonderful! !
this is great! what does he do when you wind him up?
He would pop up and flip over. He would do this a few times per key wind. I hope I can figure out why the key is so tight since it isn't winding properly right now.
