    Something a little older today… What do you think? Do you like seeing older items like this or do you prefer modern electrical tech?

    I don't know what is the bigger dedication, fixing each of the projects are wrapping them for the intro :D
    I loathe wrapping presents! ;)
    Also did you notice how old batteries hardly ever leaked, and those new once start leaking within 2 years already? And I found the horses to be "tied up" in a rather peculiar way, reminded me off my first marriage ;)

      You are so right - I hate wrapping presents too but this seemed like a good idea when I started this project back in September! I was wrong 😆
      I remember using these large old batteries as a child and I don’t recall them leaking. I guess they contain something different to the more modern C, D, AA etc cells? The horses were just bound to the board with sharp bits of twisted wire - this game really could have been made in someone’s shed!

    I'm pretty sure my uncle has this but it was pretty broken
    Glad to see what it actually looked

      Oh cool, I wondered if anyone would actually have had one of these games given how old it is.

    Hey, didn't MyMateVince fix one of these a while back?
    Nice to see another brought back to working condition!

      He did indeed - in fact, you’ve just reminded me, I meant to put a ‘thank you’ in the description because it was Vince’s video which let me know what the missing copper part on the wheel looked like! I’ll update it now 👍 Edit: (Just checked description and I had remembered to thank him - there’s also a link to his video)
