1930s Marx Battery Operated ElectroMagnetic Crane Truck Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2020
- I purchased this 1930s Marx Battery Operated ElectroMagnetic Crane Truck on eBay October of 2020. It was in dire need of a restoration and missing numerous parts. During disassembly I snapped off a tab on the boom, a tab on the boom mount, found the tab for the battery holder snapped off. The truck was missing the battery switch completely, as well as the electro-magnet. One of the wheels was damaged and had to be repaired, I ended up remaking quite a few parts for this restoration. By far this is my longest video I have produced to date, however I believe that it is well worth it. I love the final results.

There's always something so heartwarming seeing these poor old forgotten toys be given a new lease on life. Even if they don't get played with again, at least they no longer have to sit and die in rust.
Ubakdgghhgggvvvbllf
My favorite thing is that you play with them; before, during, and after. A toy is never happy unless it's being enjoyed. Their world of make-believe is very real to them, and to the children who have loved them over the years, many of who are no longer with us. You honor their memory.
Agree!! I wish I could buy some of these! My grands would love them.
That was cute..... The gripper monster coming after the sheep...... And then the sheep saying "I'm okay" while sporting a bandage! That was a hoot!!!!
I am a 68 year old lady and love watching these toys come back to life. And the sheep playing!
Young man, I know I've said it before but your 'gift' truly does put a smile on my face and tears in my eyes because what you do opens doors and windows to long held,suppressed memories of a simpler life, a safer life, a less stressful life and the recall of the joys and innocence of of our childhood. You are more than an expert in your field. You are the childhood Santa of us old forgotten ones in society. God bless ya son.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
My sons loved trucks, when they were growing up. One of them even grew up to become a diesel mechanic. During the depression, this truck would have been out of the reach of most parents finances. This had to been have been some youngster's prized possession. I love watching your videos. Your craftsmanship is amazing. (I am 69 year old great grandmother.)
Thank you soo much for watching!

You should have a museum, for your rebuilds. I would pay a ticket to visit, support your cause. You are fabulous.
Вашими игрушками можно только любоваться в музеях, ибо это великолепно! Или как в детстве снова играть в песочнице с мальчиками и создавать уникальные истории каждый раз! Браво!
Its getting late right now and I will watch the rest of ur wonderful show tomorrow. Good night and god bless

Это очень круто! Великолепно!! Машинке 92 года!! Кто бы мог подумать, что в наше время есть человек, который даст ей вторую жизнь!! Спасибо за ваш труд!!
Сколько старых игрушек! !!
Хорошо что есть такой Мастер Золотые руки, который даёт им вторую жизнь. Эти старые модели займут достойное место в любой коллекции. 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏✏✂🔧🔨🚑🚒🚗🚘🚜🚚🚙🚁✈
Умели же раньше делать вещи , что в США, что в СССР, а сейчас один китайский булл шит, great job.!!!
*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

I like how you have all the other vehicles setup like a junk yard. It really does make a good idea for a background for these metal cars and truck.
Think of the background after they are all restored
Hay personas que no les gustó el vídeo...pero les aseguro que lo vieron todo....
Felicitaciones.
Congratulacion
WOW a person that actually used the correct coating and not just having it cromed
Chip, you have some MAD skills! It’s fun watching you bring these old toys back to new condition and saving them from being tossed in a junk pile.
I don’t know how I even stumbled on to your videos, the care you take to disassemble these very old, fragile toys, the same delicate care to reassemble them. Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you.
Watching you restore these old toys is amazing. Thanks for your Time and Talents. God Bless. A humble Master and Professional Gardener Bernie De Lonay 🐦⚘️🇺🇲
I think the most important aspect of these restorations, is preserving history
This guy was definitely ahead of it's time. It's a shame they don't make them like that anymore
I love how on each restoration, you start by towing the vehicle with your tow truck. Lol adorable. Awesome job!! Your restorations are remarkable.
I would have imagined old folk restoring these toys but by the looks of your hands, you are young(ish)! Good on ya fella, Great to see young folk valuing these well made toys and showing future generations how REAL toys were made!
I'm watching this restoration from the UK. I've watched several of your restorations and find them very therapeutic. And the cat. It's a beauty.
You can really appreciate the beauty of these old toys once they're reborn. Great job once again!
It's amazing how fun and imaginative toys could be made these days. I especially remember a firetruck (made somewhere in the 60-ties, I believe) you could connect to your garden hose and drive around putting out fires :)
And today? We have microchips, electronics and hey, here's your _another_ remote controlled car, the same stuff as 30 years ago but now you can control it using smartphone... what an achievement.
Modern chilrdern can swallow everything. Both kids and parents are dumber than in the past.
WOW! Can you imagine yourself getting this on a Christmas Morning! I would be over the moon! GREAT JOB Chip!
Руки этого мастера золотые!Он даёт жизнь давно умершим заржавленным железкам, и , на наших глазах, происходит магия- старые машины оживают, начинают двигаться и работать! Спасибо, мастер!
I never would’ve thought I would watch this entire video, from start to finish, and I’m not even particularly interested in restorations... Thats how you know you’re doing excellent work, my dude! Keep it up and KEEP IMPROVING!
These videos are beautiful. I love them for the detail and care taken, but I've been watching them with my two year old and 4 year old and they love seeing all the different tools you use. It's wonderful watching things be lovingly restored like this. I can't wait to share it with my dad. Thank you for the care you take creating these!
Hola
Restoring These. There is Only ONE CREATOR. THE LORD GOD MOST HIGH (-:
The only critic I'd like to make is that the magnet wire could look better if it was inside the arm. Anyway, seeing your videos is a treat and I hope this long one became the norm. One hour of pure restoration work? Yes, please!
YES! Some one else with an eye for detail. And to be VERY 'picky' paint the yellow tabs on the roof red and 'chrome' paint to the hint of door handles. And why was the rear part not separated from the cab at the first?
I’m amazed at how these toys hold up to the sand blasting. They look like they would disintegrate. The finished version is amazing.
Это очень круто!! Вы большой молодец, что занимаетесь таким делом! Привет из России!
This man did more than PETA ever could
What is PETA?

seeing neglected items get the TLC they deserve makes my day better.
and yet these toys have outlasted all this new junk. wish they still made toys like this. thanks for the videos. brought back a lot of memory's. like it was Christmas all over again.
Удивительно, как в 30-е годы, любили технически сложные игрушки делать...
i love the sandblasting part, where you can see the clean metal revealing under the layers of dirt, rust and paint
It feels like magic
They had some pretty sophisticated toys back in the '30s. The trick is, you had to have money to buy them, and in the Depression era many people did not. My own folks grew up at this time, and they had almost no factory-made toys to play with.
I love the way you solve the issues with broken or missing parts. You are a true inspiration to those of us who remember growing up with the old toys that you so justly bring back to life. These toys to me represent a simpler time when the world was a more laid back place to live. Thank you for sharing your amazing artistry and detail of fine craftsmanship. Looking forward to more.
I love the way Beaker has to be bribed with treats to make an appearance 😏😽
Hello,
I love your restoration videos!
You are doing a wonderful job.
The sandblasting is particularly pleasant !!!
Good night.
And hello from France.
Thank you very much! and thank you for watching my content!

This turned out so beautiful. It amazes me to see how many skills you have and the diversity of tools you need to make things look new again.
Its like you were paid to say this.
Eu gosto muinto de olhar o trabalho dele é muinto lindo eu sou do Rio grande do sul fronteira com o Uruguay livramento
🎉❤
When I saw this one I was so excited! I happen to love them in their rusty, crusty state, too! It's SO 1930s, love the cab, especially. Great job!
The attention to detail and the care you put into bringing these old, rust boxes on worn-down wheels back to life as the awesome toy trucks are is amazing!
This is amazing. I cannot stress this enough, APPRECIATE THIS MAN FOR TAKING THE EFFORT TO EDIT THIS VIDEO!!! I can’t imagine how long it took..
Thank you soo much!

I agree, the love, effort and detail that go into restoring these toys are priceless. Thank you so much!! Me being a 52yr. old guy, I remember playing with some of the metal Tonka Trucks when I was a kid. Wish I still had them!
Absolutely fabulous job making replacement parts.
Thank you soo much for watching! This one needed a ton of parts.
It's so satisfying to see 👀 all that ŕust just blast away and leave clean metal
I was a kid in the late '50's and into the '60's, and in my Chicago neighborhood, there were lots of little "Mom & Pop" shops that had sheet metal toys made in Japan. I always wondered how they happened to focus on those toys, and now I see that Marx and other U.S. toy manufacturers established the style decades earlier. Post-war Japanese manufacturers must have felt there was still a demand for this type of toy (though most had flywheel or spring motors, not battery).
Always beautiful restorations - better than original!
This is ondoubtedly an excellent restoration! The chosen color combination is beautiful.
I have to say, it's a beautiful model, I've never seen it.
I looked at how long the video was and didn't even skip a frame, awesome restoration, it's gorgeous!
Thank you very much! I was skeptical about posting an hour long video, however there was just soo much to this restoration that I didn't want to leave out and I sped it up faster than I normally do in parts, the original video is over 9 hours long!. Thank you soo much for watching!!
@@ChipChannelRestorations you should have done a two parter. Made us wait with a cliffhanger.
@@ChipChannelRestorations 9 hours wow, that's some dedication, I can only imagine how much time you spent on it but we can all agree it was time well spent. Thanks!
@@Madlintelf did you skip the commercials or watch them too?
Well, 33 ads that I couldn't skip. Guess I watched them all!
Another rare find saved from the scrap pile. Nice work
Can't get enough of these videos. More, more, more
I remember playing with those toy trucks when I was a kid , Thay were made to last . Then plastic came out boy did Thay suck with in two days Thay would break . Great job restoring those old toys .👍👍😀
More than an hour of pure skill and entertainment. The knot for the hook is a work of art. Even the sheep were impressed.
1.). Yet another amazing restoration.
2.). You have mad skills
3.). Your collection of tools, from powder coating and blasting cabinet to what had to be the smallest belt sander I have ever seen is beyond cool.
yes is very good
love from morrocco
This is amazing. You have literally become Santa the toymaker. God bless you sir.🙏🥰😇
The master with another remastered project
I love how the powder coating gives everything you rebuild a better finish than the original enamel
I find the sandblasting very satisfying for some reason.
Amazed at how "new" the metal looks after sandblasting. We look so forward to these! Thank you for sharing your skills with us!
Man, first of all, I can’t believe they had electronic toys in the 30s. That thing must’ve cost an absolute fortune. Second off, I was blown away on how you fixed the wheels, ingenious! also, good touch on the vintage looking battery.
A company called Voltamp made electric train sets as early as 1907 and battery operated ones as early as 1903.
So many sheep there at the start, I wanted to count them, but I didn't because I wanted to stay awake for the beautiful restoration. Every video, those sheep just keep STARING at me!
Finally, the kitty! Beautiful job on the crane.
I love your 'scrap yard', the sheep, your restoration bringing them back to new life - and the quality controller. Very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
Hi new friend from Scotland here they don’t make toys like they used to very interesting video thank you very much
It looks better then new OUTSTANDING work. Attention to detail is phenomenal
very good duration👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you soo much for watching!

Wow! That is so amazing. So much work and tons of time to restore this piece. Absolutely beautiful. And then to watch it work. I can only imagine the fun and thrills a little boy had with this awesome toy. ❤😺❤ Fabulously incredible Chip.
My kid who's 5 loves these vids. He calls your videos rusties. His name is rory we have a Tonka truck that was found under his grandparents porch.
Can you imagine how much a battery operated toy would cost in the 1930's? That had to have been the most sophisticated toy made up to that point. Every kid in the country probably wanted one of these.
My favorite part of Sunday! Waiting for Chip to download a new restoration. 😊
I really appreciate that!! I'm soo glad others get as much enjoyment out of my hobby as I do!
Это восхитительно! Слишком мало просмотров и оценок для такой офигенной работы! Супер!
I could watch this man restore toys all day and I would never take my eyes off it. I have no idea why this is so satisfying but it sure is
It is...and so relaxing!
Am I the only one on here who can sit for hours and watch someone sand blast stuff? I think it would be cool if Chip would make a yearly montage of all the sand blasting he did that previous year.
You're not the only one and I second that. Although I need at least monthly. Yearly is not enough.
Amazing! I enjoy the skill and artistry you use to breathe new life into these old toys.
Truly wonderful restoration job. Beautiful little Crane Truck would have been a magnificent posession for its first owner. It's really heartwarming to see such a worthy item receive the attention it deserves. Your work is fabulous. 10 out of 10. Thank you for making my day..
just thinking this could have been a toy my father received on Christmas day. Assuming original owner was grateful to get this from Santa.
Thank you for not playing music during the video.
Finally, a real restoration channel. And bonus kitty.
Children really like it, and from the perspective of parents, I think it's a lot of educational help👍👍
That paint remover looked so satisfying when scraping it off.
Thank you . Not everyone realizes you have to edit, do your shots ,set up etc. This was alot of work but WoW. You did a great job (as always) on this 1930s toy!!!

Might know how to spell "gauge" as well!

Bonjour 👋
It's seen better days! So simple construction tin toys
That was a long video but even one hour did not do justice to the amount of craft and skill you used to bring it back to life! Amazing outcome!
EXCELLENT WORK!!!, Chip. You had a lot of extra work to do on this project, but well worth it. Thanks for sharing.
1 hr of my life wasted?
Nope. Best hr on TH-cam. Great work!

It’s really amazing to see you take something that’s been forgotten in time and bring it back to it’s former glory. Awesome work! Keep it up!

What a great restoration this was! Love all your videos! My five-year-old daughter enjoy enjoys them as well and always asked me if she can see the rusty truck videos. Thanks so much for posting all your awesome work!
your hands are made of gold!!!👍
Definitely better after renovated then when it was sold brand new. Structural improvements to the wheels in itself will make that last for a long long time
Wonderful collection!! The Coke truck is my fav!! Love what you did with the bottles!
Thank you for watching! I really like the Coke truck too!
This was a neat one! My favorite part of restoration videos like this is watching each restorer try different techniques and methods on how to produce a new exact replica of an old broken or missing part/piece of their project. They probably think it’s a pain in the a$$, but it’s so interesting to me. I’m always wowed by what they manage to create & it always looks pretty dang close to the original too! I wonder what his favorite part of his restorations are....probably piecing it all together at the end if I had to guess? Stripping the paint might be pretty fun too! This project was a cool one and a job well done!! 💕
Meticulous work. From the lead removal, nickel restoration, fabrication of parts/pieces, to the replacement of original stickers.😲🤯
Nice to see someone with a sense of humor..
This really is your best restoration to date Chip! WOW!!!!! 😮
Thank you soo much! I really love the way it turned out!
Assalam
I saw that little cyclops sheepie at the beginning XD
Please, for the love of all things holy, get a TIG welder. I think that is the one thing keeping you from virtual perfection. Love your work!
Chip repairing the broken tabs is pure talent
With its bright shiny colours (yellow, red and blue always match) it looked like a christmas candy hanging from the tree. AMAZING! Very well done my friend!
