Musical Monkeys and 3 Ring Circus Bimbo coin-op games.

Pictured above are some old favorite coin-operated games that I enjoyed when I was younger. There’s the musical monkey band and the Bimbo Three Ring Circus. I used to enjoy their music while playing with them in a restaurant, but after decades of use they cease to work anymore.

Update: Video of a similiar monkey band in action.

    I have musical monkey band jukebox and wondered if you knew anyone that had parts. I would love to have mine repaired. Thanks

    Interestingly enough the mechanical Monkey Band goes by the name of “Bimbo Box” so you could search around for that. I’d suggest checking out museums like Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum, the International Arcade Museum and Musee Mecanique in San Francisco for more info. Also I found another recent posting about it at Showcase, out of Holland.

    You might also check eBay.

    What is your asking price for the Bimbo machine?

    I’m sorry Steve. Unfortunately that great machine is not mine, but belongs to a restaurant.
