A 1967 piece of art... NOT!

Well, with its die-cast chassis (built like a tank, as they say) is would certainly qualify. Only those finicky plasticky gears! The LEGO toy brick company would be ashamed. The main cog had shattered and was completely gone, the cog on the axle of the flywheel was broken but clung on for dear life. Not to be outdone I decided to rebuild the gearbox with brass cogs. For some lucky reason these cogs fit the box exactly, only the axle hole was way too small. One has been drilled out, the other waiting for a column drill.

It's a start
