I bought a collection of early 80' cubes because I was interested in the original hype


Now i have trouble identifying some of the cubes http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/pricetracker.cgi helped me identify some this is what I (think) some of them are:
1. Magic Ball (aka: Rubik's Sphere) - 58mm (http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/puzzle.cgi?pkey=579)

2. Cuboctahedron (aka: Diamond Cube) - http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/puzzle.cgi?pkey=642

3. Non original rubiks, the colours are mixed up (slighty confusing)
4. Original Rubik's Cube somewhere 1980 - 1985
5. a 3 colour with "hacked off edges" you hate permutations, this is your cube
6. Some kind of actagonal with many light (white, baby pink, perl) colours
7. Some non twisty puzzle, don't care came with the package
8. possibly Pyramid P.G.Co the bottom is a golden kind of sticker, the stickers have a rough brushed aluminum texture
9. Someone recognized thisone but could not tell me the name, this one comes with caps and tensioning screws
10. P.G.Co Puzzle Snake - http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/puzzle.cgi?pkey=1163

11. barrel puzzle - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-C...0324?pt=UK_Toys_Rubiks_RL&hash=item19e7ab3824

I found more i think:
6 barrel http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/barrel.htm
5 possibly diamond style puzzler http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/diamstyl.htm
9 White cube http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/puzzle.cgi?pkey=845

We need to see the internal parts to really help you.

Sorry that I don't have much to offer, but I saw cyoubx's video on retensioning a Dayan cube, and I couldn't help but notice that I really liked the crisp/scratchy sound of the corner cutting/turns. I asked in the comments, but I didn't find much. Here's a link to the video.

It's a Dayan Zhanchi in the comments milewski1015 has asked it a year ago and he has replied to that.

It's most likely the TOMY brand or Meffert's. I do have a TOMY brand Pyraminx and it has no gold stickers but they did make some with and without gold stickers. Also does the stickers seem to have some sorta texture to them?

Yes the stickers seem like being tiles or something similar with texture
However, what is that tomy brand of mefferts?

Well the story goes that Uwe Meffert The inventor of the Pyraminx went up to TOMY in a toy fair in 1979 and introduced it to them to produce. But the 1980' Tomy and Meffert's Pyraminx's are the same. BTW the textured stickers is the same kind that are on modern Mefferts puzzles.
