Rare 1956 Nylint Electronic Cannon Truck Tonka Restoration

Ойын-сауық

For Metal Art - bigfoot, trailer hitch covers, signs.
My ebay store: www.ebay.com/str/armetalart
My Esty store: www.etsy.com/shop/ARMetalArt
In this video I restore a 1956 Nylint Electronic Cannon Truck. It was manufactured for only a few years and good ones are hard to find. Nylint Company competed with Tonka in pressed steel toy sales.
This truck is completely dissembled and rebuilt from the ground up. All of the parts are cleaned and/or repaired. The trucks electronics do not currently work. I will attempt to repair the electronics and make this truck 100% functional again. The body parts are sand blasted and then powder coated. The steel parts are cleaned in rust remover. A broken plastic gear is repaired using a mold from a working gear. Then if it works I will test it out and show the results.
In 1956 it cost $12.95, if you calculate the price adjusted for inflation it would cost $124.54 in 2021 dollars.

    This is the most complicated/complex toy I've seen on your site. This was back when toys were made to be fun... not so much safe lol. What kid wouldn't want sparks, smoke and shooting cannons. I want one now.. Great restoration - you never cease to amaze. Thanks

    This toy does not have the function of smoking. I have it! The resaturator created a scenographic effect with a firecracker. However, it really is a wonderful and complicated restoration job. Congratulations! Good job.

    Im 74 and I got one of these for Christmas back in the 1950’s along with a “spotlight vehicle”. It was one of my favorite toys ever! I would set up all of my toy army men and blast them from across the room. When I was away at collage, my grandmother gave my trunk full of memories away to my little cousin. Thanks a hell of a lot granny! I wish I had that box full of treasures now to pass along to my grandson. Thanks for the memories.
