I have 4 new Digger project coming mid-July, and as much as I want to keep them all, I need to make some room. I have a Pair of Buckley Diggers that I am going to put up for sale. The first is a nice Buckley Treasure Island, and the second is the scarcer Buckley Jewel Box. (right and left in the pic of 3) I am asking $2900 and $3400 respectively, and 6k as a pair. Both come with the stands they are on, and are very clean inside and out. Everything works as it should, and the nieces and nephews have a blast playing them. With them being over 80 years old, they are not cosmetically flawless, but they are as good as you will find. The Jewel Box came from the old Pike Amusement Park in Long Beach California, and the TI was found in a garage here in Chicago, so I don't have any history on it. If you have any questions, PM me. If you want me to ship, I will work with your shipper, however I will strongly advise against hiring an outside party to ship....I've had bad experiences with some larger items. Also, the bottom stand does not open, and is not intended to be a shipping crate. If it helps any, I live just down the road, and less then 5 minutes from the Chicago show.
Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention is that I replaced all wiring and added a switchbox inside the lower bottom area with 2 switches so that you can leave the unit plugged in and energize the lights and motor by opening a side panel rather than having to move the unit away from the wall. It also allows you run the lights for display, without energizing the switch, so visitors or children cannot operate unless you want them to. The switchbox is below and out of the way and does not detract from the unit, and can be removed at any time.
