    I picked up a Tonka mechanical digger. They were used extensively in the carnivals. I believe most were 25 cent games. I just purchased the mechanics only. I had to make the cabinet from scratch. Not much info out there on the machines. I was able to talk to Jim Roller and Get a rough set of plans. This gave me a good starting point.
