VINTAGE SCHUCO HAND CRANKED/POWERED DYNAMO-LOTUS W/BOX FULLY WORKING ART. 1079 For Sale

HERE I AM OFFERING UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY RARE, VINTAGE SCHUCO MODELS. HERE\'S A MID 1970\'S, VINTAGE AND IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION/ORDER \"DYNAMO-LOTUS\" IN THEFORMEL 1 FORMAT WHICH HAS A VERY RARE AND FULLY OPERATIONAL HAND CRANKED/GENERATED POWER SUPPLY WITH A TETHERED REMOTE CONTROL (MORE ON THIS LATER). HEREAFTER THIS LOTUS FORMEL 1 1079 WILL SIMPLE BE REFERRED TO AS A \"LOTUS\".THE BODY ON THIS LOTUS IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING CONSIDERED NEW! NOTHING IS BROKEN OR MISSING. THE TOP SECTION OF THE BODY IS MADE OUT OF TIN AND ALL OF THE FACTORY DECALS/STICKERS ARE STILL WELL ATTACHED. THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS AND WINDSHIELD ARE ORIGINAL AND IN PERFECT SHAPE/CONDITION, AS IS THE ENGINES CLEAR HOOD. HERE YOU HAVE NO DINGS, DENTS, RUST CREASES OR CORROSION FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS LOTUS. THE CHASSIS OF THIS LOTUS IS ALSO MADE OUT OF TIN AND YOU HAVE NO ISSUES HERE .... AT ALL! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT REPRESENTING THIS LOTUS AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), FOR IT IS NOT. HOWEVER, I AM REPRESENTING THIS LOTUS AS AN ORIGINAL, UNTOUCHED, VINTAGE MODEL IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL SHAPE/CONDITION WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN REPAIRED OR ALTERED (AS IT HAS NEVER REQUIRED ANY SERVICE) WHICH WAS/IS MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY. ALL OF THE TIRES ARE STILL SOFT AND PLIABLE. HERE YOU HAVE NO CRACKS, SPLITS, FLAT SPOTS, DRY ROT, REPAIRS OR ISSUES WITH EITHER THE WHEELS OR TIRES. THESE WHEELS ARE DESIGNED TO BE REMOVED, IF SO DESIRED. ALTHOUGH A WRENCH NEVER ACCOMPANIED THIS MODEL TO REMOVE THESE WHEELS, IT IS DESIGNED SO THEY CAN ALL BE. THIS LOTUS HAS A VERY UNIQUE HAND CRANKED GENERATOR (POWER SOURCE). THIS IS HOW THIS WORKS....YOU ATTACH THE CABLE TO THE LOTUS BY PUSHING THE FLAT PLUG INTO THE RECEIVER WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS LOTUS (AS PICTURED) WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS AND IN THE VERY REAR. YOU THEN UNCOIL THE WIRE AND NEXT YOU PLUG THE TWO PRONGED END INTO THE OPPOSITE END OF THE HAND HELD GENERATORS HANDEL. IT\'S DIRECTION DOES NOT MATTER AS THIS GENERATOR WORKS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS REVERSING THE POLARITY AUTOMATICALLY. ONCE YOU HAVE THE CABLE IN PLACE ON THE LOTUS AND GENERATOR, YOU NOW PLACE THE LOTUS DOWN ON ANY HARD AND LEVEL SURFACE. NOW YOU SIMPLY START TURNING THE HAND HELD GENERATOR AND THIS LOTUS WILL EITHER GO FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO MASTER IT\'S CONTROL, AS YOU BACK THE LOTUS UP, IT WILL VEER OFF TO THE RIGHT. SO WITH SOME TIME AND EXPERIENCE, YOU\'LL BE ABLE TO CONTROL THIS LOTUS LIKE A FORMEL 1 DRIVER!IT\'S GREAT TOY TO USE AND TO WATCH. YOU CAN SET UP AN OBSTACLE COURSE WHEN YOUR SKILL LEVEL INCREASES AND REMEMBER AS THE HAND CRANK IS A GENERATOR, THE FASTER YOU WIND THE CRANK ...THE FASTER THIS LOTUS GOES. AS THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE PRINTED ON THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL BOX.PLEASE NOTE: IF THIS LOTUS IS STOPPED AGAINST A WALL (OR BEING HELD DOWN FOR SOME REASON .... LIKE LITTLE HANDS)... YOU SHOULD NEVER CRANK IT UP WHILE IT\'S THERE ... THIS WAY YOU DO NOT DAMAGE THE LOTUS\'S INTERNAL GEARS! IN OTHER WORDS THE GEARS MIGHT BECOME STRIPPED AND YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE AS YOU WOULD HAVE TO REBUILD IT\'S DRIVE-TRAIN IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN! SCHUCO ALSO INTRODUCED THIS \"DYNAMO\" CONCEPT IN AN JET BOEING 747 VERSION. I DO HAVE A ONE OF THESE LISTED AT THIS TIME (UNLESS IT HAS SOLD OFF).ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE VINTAGE MODEL RARELY FOUND HERE ON OR ELSEWHERE.THE ORIGINAL BOX IS PRESENT AND IN VERY GOOD OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. THE INSERT IS PRESENT AND HOLDS THE HAND HELD CRANK AND WIRE. YOU DO HAVE A RETAIL STICKER ON ONE OF THE SIDE PANELS. NO TAPE OR GLUE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THIS BOX. YOU ALSO HAVE SOME BOX RASH ON SOME OF THE PANELS... THIS IS FROM AGE AND NOT ABUSE.THE GRAPHICS ARE CLEAN AND SHARP AND YOU HAVE A NICE PICTORIAL OF THE FEATURES ON ONE OF THE LARGER SIDES OF THE LID WHICH SHOWS YOU ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF THIS SCHUCO MODEL NR. 1079.
