Vintage Tin Toy Space Rocket Nomura Toy Super X-7 Full Length 385Mm Width 280Mm

I repaired and cleaned two junk cars using parts. You can see the operation by searching YouTube for ``Tin Toy Nomura Toy Space Rocket''. Please see the same item as the title photo. Two aircraft were completely disassembled, reused, and assembled. The motor was cleaned by removing the brushes. There was some rust inside the battery box, so I painted it with black anti-rust paint after cleaning.

The movement gimmick is running and the opening and closing of both wings are perfect, but the special gear wears out and slips when the aircraft rises, so it only rises about halfway. The cause of gear slippage and wear, which often occurs with robot types, is that the moving parts are held down and stress is placed on the gears.

It has been cleaned and waxed inside and out to prevent rust. The plastic parts are also waxed to prevent them from drying out.

The size is 15.1in in length and 11.0in on both wings. Operates on two single batteries, but please be sure to use manganese batteries. Alkaline batteries (there were no such batteries at that time) are slightly larger and heavier than manganese batteries, making it a burden to lift the aircraft.
