Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2003 13:41:06 -0800 From: xxxx@shaw.ca> Subject: Dinky Toys To: hectorluis@virgilio.it Hola' Hector: Greetings from the West Coast of Canada. What a pleasure it was to find your site and see another's passion for the toys. I restore mine as well as that is the most satisfying part of it. to see the toy on the shelf and looking at the before and after pictures. If I can get good condition toys at a fair price I do so, but I love to restore them. You can see my toys at my site www.sinanju.ca and follow the links to Dinky Toys. I also have some Corgi and collect ambulances and Mini Coopers as well. After dis-assembling the toy I use a low air pressure glass bead cabinet for stripping as I found chemical too messy. I then putty in any cracks with JB Weld epoxy steel and rebuild any missing window uprights or body damage with extra material I have from totally junked toys. I have a local source for replacement parts and I use Model Master paints with a Testor air brush sprayer. I have to mix the paints to get as close to original as I can and that is the biggest challenge. To re-attach the base plates I tap out the stem to 4-40 thread and use a 1/4 round head hex drive screw to fasten it back on. Looks not bad. Recently I have been experimenting with using JB Weld epoxy to form rivet heads and shape them after hardening. both methods are cheap and easy. I hope to get a picture directory of step by step instructions on my site soon. However I am always willing to try new methods developed by other collector / restorers. I shall be checking back with your site from time to time. Best wishes to you and your family. I remain: Sincerely Cameron Bailey

you will enjoy restoring YOURSELF Dinkys. I have restored most of them
but not with my proper hands. I really feel I wont how to do. I like to
have them in good conditions. I am only a collector and the restoring
have been performed by third parties. You make me think to have a DAta bank with Dinky pieces for anybody who wants to restore as you are. Other good is Aaron Recoveries. I see the Foden you bought for 15 dollars. There are here any but you must pay between 30 or 40 dollars. Only for restoring. Keep contacted: let me know about your progress in restoring and other
events. Have Fun collecting Dinky Toys !! Best Regards Hector Luis Spinelli

I have deeeply enjoyed your Dinky Toys site. As you see I lek DT. Specially to those who retore and revive the old toy feeling from the 50s. I just keep my toys from the 50s. I have destroyed them, put my feet over them. When 8 years old I tryed in a very poor manner to paint them with disastrous results. You can see some units before restoration. Those ones were originals. Some models would be worth to be in your gallery of horrors as you very original denominated it. I enjoyed your fine restoration art. Congratulations. Its difficult today
to find DToys. There are very few in my country. The Mints are in England. I will insert your address on the links area of my site. Would you mind to insert mine in your site ? My site was prepared for a good italian friend Giancarlo who is a great Dinky collector too !! Keep in touch. Let me know from time to time once you prepared any new or restored one more.

Pero si fue muy fuerte despues de la guerra. Argentina exportaba fuertemente y en particular durante la guerra. Este hecho permitió un enorme ingreso de manufacturas no solo de juguetes sino de toda índole. La caravana de colleccionistas de todo el mundo en particular de Europa que han venido incesantemente a la Argentina en los ultimos tiempos en enorme. En particular ahora despues de la devaluación del peso. Volviendo a nuestro hobby los Dinky Toys se consiguen aunque muy pero
muy pocos de preguerra. Esto quiere decir que anteriormente a la misma
ya entraban. un gran saludo y no dude en escribirme cuando necesite alguna indicación u orientación. Have fun collecting Dinky !! Hector Luis Spinelli |

Vi su coleccion en el internet y me parece que ha hecho un buen trabjo reparando sus modelos. Yo colecciono tambien Dinkys, pero la mayoria tienen el acabado original, aunque sea con la pintura imperfecta. Tengo una pregunta: Se que en Argentina hubo una oficina de Meccano
que distribuia juguetes en sudamerica. Desde cuando se empezo la distribucion
de Dinky toys? Usted recuerda si habia modelos de la pre-guerra en venta
en Bs. As.?
