TB Kiddie Rides (Kiddie Ride Museum)
This unit still OMC original and hasn't been tampered with by Northern Leisure, Photo-Me, KidzStuff UK or Leisurematic
This is what the unit looks like if you bought it from OMC back in the day. Now back then, we didn't have the internet, you have to order the rides by phone. You would have to call any of the ride companies like Jolly Roger, RG Mitchell or OMC Electronics. I think you would tell them what ride you would want, and possibly your credit card information (if those existed during the time) that's all I know. Once you got it directly from OMC, I don't know how they packaged it but what you would see is a super shiny Jupiter (as the firemen calls it from the show) with the firemen having eyes and badges. The top light, front back, button and coin reject button lights would also work out of box too. the back would also have an OMC sign which explains the location of where they're at, the phone number and the model of the ride. It would also come with either PMP/FMS controller board or a newly developed OMC's ROSie board. 2/3/4 from the factory. Nowadays, it is hard to find an still original OMC Fireman Sam since most of them are restored by Northern Leisure or other companies. They would take the OMC sign off and possibly reprogram the ROSie timer to make it say Northern Leisure and their phone number, or sometimes, throw in the V5 board. They would also throw in the Northern Leisure sign at the bottom of the base rather than on the vehicle. KidzStuff AU also distributed a few of them which I assume has a V4 board with rare and never recorded before KidzStuff AU's announcements.
