After selling my Frankenbox, I couldn't stand having money in my pocket, so I bought another Marx toy that caught my eye in the 1963 Sears Toy Catalog. The vampire is behind the door, but the door needs some tweeking...as do the sound effects. Overall, it's in great condition, though, and the price was right.

Looks pretty cool! Once it's fixed up any chance you could post a video showing what all of those buttons do? ededed
I DO need Marx toys, so feel free to sell anything you don't need to me.
Fantastic piece.
always wanted one of these
I will be happy to put a video on youtube with my other barely-viewed videos once it is totally operational. I don't know what to expect with the sound issues. I'm sure many of you know these houses had some purely mechanical operations (cat, ghost in chimney, shaking roof) and some that required batteries. (light/ghost, sounds...I think)
Does anyone have that tin Spooky walking tree? That was always one of my childhood faves.
Thank you! I am looking forward to seeing it in action.
found this one on YouTube

That is seriously beyond awesome. What's your YouTube channel?

That vid was not taken from my channel. Just searched for it on YouTube and shared the vid. ;)
Oh sorry, was asking Frankenmarx. But nice find on that video, very cool.
I'll post the link once I have it all working...assuming I can fix it. As long as the sounds don't require any special parts that can't be found, I'll find a way.
