This sounds sorta like a series of stories in Boy's Life
about 1966 or thereabouts.  Sure wish I'd saved them.

In the first story the possession of the time machine by
the kids is already assumed.  It isn't until the last story
I remember reading that they actually reveal how the kids
had gotten ahold of it.

It was a neat device!  Shaped like a flying saucer, it could
appear anywhere at any time.  (Even hover if necessary.)  I
remember that there was a model of a globe on the control panel
that you moved a marker over to pinpoint a location on earth.

I remember the stories as very well written.  Certainly, they
had a profound effect on my own imagination, and I spent many
nights imagining what it would have been like to have owned
such a vehicle.

Were these stories ever published in book form?
