Coin operated Minicopters
Wondering how many of the old coin operated minicopters might still be running, and where, and where we might get parts off the ones that finally failed complety.
All info appreciated.

I used to play that one in XJ a bit when I lived there.
What's broken on it ... it should be something which can be repaired as opposed to replaced. If I recall, those toys were very sturdily built.

Thanx for info, will give YPE a call. Ours is sorta running again but more challanging now with lagging power...need forward speed to get enough transition lift to get over the trees. Good to hear a few are still working.
