In this captivating restoration journey, join me as I delve into the world of vintage mechanical games with a mystery on our hands. I've uncovered a fascinating piece that bears a striking resemblance to the iconic TOMY games of the 80s, yet its true origins remain shrouded in uncertainty.

This timeless race car game, reminiscent of TOMY's Digital Derby, features two lanes adorned with painted cars gliding past a plastic cutout of a car. With its sturdy metal gears and intricate mechanics, it's a testament to a bygone era of craftsmanship and ingenuity.

Throughout this video, I meticulously refurbish this enigmatic treasure, replacing worn parts and crafting a custom battery door to breathe new life into it. Along the way, we'll explore its design quirks and speculate on its manufacturer, with Masudaya emerging as a potential contender.

Join me on this nostalgic voyage as we unravel the secrets of this TOMY-lookalike marvel, celebrating the charm of vintage gaming and the thrill of restoration. Whether you're a collector, a gaming enthusiast, or simply curious about retro wonders, this journey promises excitement and discovery at every turn. Don't miss out on this intriguing adventure into the past!
