Antique Toy Restoration

  • The Toy Masters Space Survey Jeep friction toy sometimes comes with a tin astronaut driver, but always has a telescope that swings back and forth. A shaft protrudes vertically through the rear of the telescope and the antenna will rotate 360 degrees when mounted atop that shaft. Uncle Al's also fabricates the replacement telescope and cradle assembly for this toy.
  • A replacement Beacon Lens for the Yonezawa, Cragstan DC-7 Automatic Multi-Action Prop-Jet Plane. Created from a mold of an original toy part to ensure the greatest accuracy. A drop of super glue will hold it in place and is guaranteed to be a perfect fit! This toy was manufactured with many different features and airline names. We offer a wide variety of additional replacement parts. Common to all the planes is the white antenna mounted behind the cockpit. Also available are the white propellers in both round or square tip, and red nacelle engine covers.
  • This is a replacement WIND UP KEY for the CIJ Alfa P2 Racer , made in France. All dimensions for the replacement were taken from an original key. The brass shaft diameter and the steel winding handle are of the same thickness as the original key. The length is correct and allows winding without interference or binding near the back wheel of the toy. If you look closely at the pictures, I also drilled and inserted a brass locking pin which secures the handle to the shaft, just as original. These can be ordered with black painted steel winding handle or aged patina. Please specify when ordering. These are in stock in both variations shown here. Make your Alfa complete with one of these rare keys.
  • This PLASTIC WING for the 1/10 scale battery operated Asahi Junior Toys Gold Leaf Lotus 49 Ford F-1 race car. The wing was created from a mold taken from an original toy part and is an exact copy of the original, perfect fitting and strong material. Many of these cars are missing this accessory and now there is this excellent replacement available from Uncle Al's Toys. Please note that this listing is for ONE WING ONLY - NO CAR. These parts are in stock and ready to ship!
  • A replacement red button for the battery-operated sound box. If your Monkeemobile is missing this button, the sound mechanism is very hard to operate. Just a drop of Super Glue will bond the replacement button to the stem. The button is translucent red, just like the original. Many additional parts are available for this toy. Please keep looking at Uncle Al's!
  • Irwin 'Man From Mars' Replacement Bubble Helmet A two piece bubble helmet for the Irwin 'Man From Mars' wind up toy from the 1950's. The helmet comes in two pieces as shown and installs just as the original. There are 4 alignment pins on one helmet half and 4 corresponding holes on the other half. A small bit of super glue to each pin will secure the helmet to the spaceman. There is a hole in the top of the helmet for the rubber antenna, which is also available here on this site. Many of the original bubbles are missing, cracked and re-glued or have become clouded or crazed from age. My new bubble is guaranteed to be an excellent fit and remain clear for years to come!
  • Tommy-Ray Space Gun Replacement Bee Hive Battery Cap - A perfect fitting replacement Bee Hive Battery Cap for the B-W Molded Plastics Company 'Tommy-Ray Space Gun'. The space gun is a battery operated toy featuring a noisy, vibrating ray gun blast with a light up gun tip. The toy operates on two 'D' cell batteries. When batteries are inserted into the back of the gun, a folding brass contact tips up against the negative side of the battery and the Bee Hive Cap secures the brass tightly to the battery. Without the cap, the battery does not maintain contact. Due to the nature of the plastic used in manufacturing this toy, warping of the plastic battery opening often occurs in the absence of the cap. This issue can be remedied by applying medium heat with a heat gun or hair dryer completely around the battery opening, but not TOO much. *Be sure to remove the batteries before attempting this procedure!*  Once softened the cap can be used to round the opening once more by manipulating the tabs of the cap into the opening and allowing the warmed plastic to cool, but this process must be done quickly as the plastic cools quickly. Many Tommy-Ray Space Guns no longer work. There is little to no way to service them because of the adhesive and type of plastic used. They are literally fused together and I've yet to successfully separate one to date. With that being said, they are still excellent display toys when complete and REALLY look good with the matching helmet and box.
  • This is a brand new replacement windshield/convertible top for the 1950's 20" tin Marx Falcon friction drive car. The top comes clear and ready for painting in your favorite color. This new top was created from a mold made from the black top in the pictures. As you can see, it's a perfect fit and the glass is clear. The mounting pins are about 1/4" long. A perfect replacement for that cracked, warped or missing top.
  • Lincoln Continental Hood Ornament Antenna Set A reproduction tin and metal hood ornament/antenna combination for the Linemar 1956 Lincoln Continental tin cars. These parts are compatible with all versions of the Linemar Lincoln battery operated friction and remote control. The company liked to ship these parts separately from the toy and as a result, these parts were often lost. I fabricate the reproduction hood ornament exactly as the original with a large tab on the bottom side. This feature allows the hood ornament to insert easily into the slot above the grill. The reproduction antenna is the same as the original diameter of the shaft and fits correctly into the hole in the fender. The car in the picture is for display purposes only and is not for sale. These parts are now made to order. Please allow two weeks for delivery.
  • Alps Lincoln Futura Replacement Metal Antenna is an exact fitting replica of the original toy deck mounted antenna. This part will fit on all variations of the Alps Futura cars; friction, battery operated and remote control. The replacement antenna mounts to the toy using the same spring shaft configuration and is an easy install. Also available for this toy are the rubber tires and the metal steering wheel. The Alps Futura concept car is a stunning creation that is still popular today. Alps did a magnificent job of recreating this fine automobile in tin.
  • A replacement hat brim for the Strauss Jenny The Balky Mule Wind Up Toy.
  • A replacement tail fin for the Yoshiya SS Space Friction Rocket. It installs just as the original. The Replacement Tail Fin is a specific component designed for the restoration or repair of the Rocket toy.
  • This is a real, metal replacement battery box for the Cragstan Mr. Robot toy. It comes complete with the contact boards with new contacts and installs exactly like the original.
  • An American National Mack Truck Gas Tank Replacement Cap. The cap was created from a mold taken of the original toy part. It is guaranteed to be a perfect fit.
  • Pyro X-400 Space Explorer Replacement Canopy for the 1960's Pyro X-400 Space Explorer plastic spaceship.  Created from a mold taken of an original toy part to ensure the utmost accuracy in the snap-fit installation, just like the original.  
  • A replica cap compartment cover for the 1950's Ideal Atomic Machine Gun. This cap is near perfect and almost a dead ringer for the often missing plug. The fit is tested on my own toy and an original stack of 5 Kilgore Roll Caps (not included) is inserted and then capped. I believe the original cap was a hollow injection molded part and quite flimsy, which is why they're almost always missing. I still resin cast my part but I designed it to be solid with the exterior look of the original. Please ask if you're looking for or need custom parts!

  • Irwin Man From Mars Replacement Antenna</p> This is an exact copy of the original Irwin Man From Mars Antenna and is molded in rubber. It will fit the original plastic helmet or our new replacement helmet, also sold here. The antenna should be softened in hot water prior to installing in an original, sealed helmet so as not to crack the plastic from too much stress. Just insert with a slight twisting motion. You could also add a drop of dish soap for lubrication to the antenna base to ease insertion. These parts are in stock and ready to ship.

Looking for a great Marx car?
  • A new replacement small driver for the Marx Race Cars requiring a smaller driver with a single mounting pin. The part is cast in the white color as shown. Please see my other listing offering the dual mounting pin driver. It is a bit larger and fits the larger race cars and roadsters. These replacement drivers are the nicest available and fit perfectly just as the originals.
  • Marx Hootin Hollow Haunted House Witch is a perfect reproduction of the original toy part. The replacement made from tin, decorated and mounts to the door just like original! Marx Hootin Hollow Haunted House can be seen in a mid 1960's TV commercial featuring a spooky announcer and two children playing with the house. The actions are triggered by pressing the buttons on the side. A jumping cat, a witch behind the opening front door, a ghost floating in the air behind a lighted window. A scary window shade, a shaking roof with banging shutters, a skeleton that jumps out of the chimney. A spooky, eerie sound and a frightening loud whistling noise. All of these features are operated with 3 'D' cell batteries.
  • The REPLACEMENT GEAR COVER for the Asahi Toy, Junior Products Lotus 49 F-1 battery-operated race car. Created from a mold taken of the original toy part, it is guaranteed to be a perfect fit. It is possible for tiny bubbles to appear in the casting, as shown in the pictures. This was my first cast part and more recent casts have been bubble-free. The gear cover can be installed on the two different engine versions of the Lotus toy. Plated engines used on the wing cars have molded bosses to mount the wing. This version utilizes the tiny mounting pins on the clear gear cover. Engines without plating are for the non-wing cars and the clear gear cover is installed with the pins removed as the engine has no holes for the pins to go into. The pins can be easily trimmed off for a flush fit. Both versions require the cover to be glued on and just a drop of super glue to each pin area is sufficient.
