Great Vintage 1960s Horikawa Japan Nasa USA Space Capsule Battery Operated Toy
GREAT VINTAGE 1960S HORIKAWA JAPAN NASA USA SPACE CAPSULE BATTERY OPERATED TOY. This awesome vintage battery operated "Super Space Capsule" is designed to drive around on the floor with a flashing nose cone. Automatically, two side panels open and reveal a flashing engine section and a white astronaut next to a TV camera and an illuminated screen.
Once the panels are open, the capsule initiates a rotating action. Very cool NASA tin litho. Measures 9.25 inches high. The toy is in very good condition with no apparent missing pieces, damage or repairs.
The battery compartment is relatively clean but there is some corrosion on the inside of the lid so probably there was a battery acid issue in the past that also corroded the contacts. I tested it with new batteries and it didn't move. Considering that the inside looks complete, I assume that the current is blocked somewhere which should be relatively easy to fix. This item is in the category "Toys & Hobbies\Vintage & Antique Toys\Other Vintage & Antique Toys". The seller is "quetzalpapalottl" and is located in this country: US.
