Скачать или смотреть 1970s JM Kiddie Rides Coin Operated Dog Kiddie Ride - Pongo

Filmed at Merrivale Model Village in Great Yarmouth on September 24th 2012.

Originally designed by Les Quaintance for Whittaker Brothers in 1965, this version was made by Lowestoft-based JM Kiddie Rides approximately one decade later. The earliest definite reference I've found of the JM version is an advert printed in The Coin Slot in March 1976, where the ride is being sold under the name of "dog".

Sadly, this particular unit was mute. The Whittaker Brothers' version originally played "How much is that doggie in the window?" but I don't know what the JM Kiddie Rides version would have played - probably whatever was to hand in the workshop at the time!

He has obviously been repainted too, in much bolder shades than the original, although I believe his spots and other markings have been left pretty much in their original places.
