Finally completed my latest project.

The mechanism was a bit of a challenge. Fortunately it was 100% complete and just out of adjustment.

Very cool machine. Fun to play.

That looks like it might be a Kitty, if so great find looks like you did a fine job real purdy. T.J.

Yes, it is a kitty and has all the kitty parts on the inside.

Nice find!
I'd love to hear the story on how you got it.

Nothing really special. The machine had been in the family for a long time. The son who inherited it wanted to sell it.

He contacted several dealers and collectors on the Internet.

It turns out he lived about 20 miles from my sister.

Bottom line was that I offered significantly more than anyone else and was able to arrange for my sister to go pick it up and pay him cash.

He didn't have to deal with shipping or checks.

The deal was done in less than three hours from the time he contacted me to when my sister had possession of the machine.

He got a good price for the machine.
