Working Masudaya Tin Toy USA NASA Apollo Rocket Vintage Modern Toys Co Japan

This listing is for one 1960's Modern Toy co (Masudaya) of Japan U. Please read description and examine photos to confirm description There are no "gotcha's" here. I'm going to do my best to describe it as is and please make your own judgement calls. Plastic parts (nose cone and light up tail) have been cleaned with mineral oil but do still maintain light fogging, scratching, and scuffing. Metal parts of body, nose done, and backplate are noticably corroded/worn. The bright silver finish that originally was on this toy is gone. There are areas with more pronounced wear/corrosion that I have shown in photos.

Battery bay is clean and free of debris or corrosion. Takes 2x D cell batteries (not included). Batteries fit SNUGLY, so care needs to be used installing, or removing them, and they need to be inserted all the way for proper contact.

Item powers on with on/off switch. Item powers off with on/off switch. Fractional control switch on bottom offers three different "modes"or that is the thought process.

I can't really discern a noticeable difference between the three settings except maybe one end has a more open pattern for the toy wandering around and the other end seems to keep it in a smaller area. Motor turns front wheel casing, front wheels are coupled/integrated with spinning mechanism and appear to spin as well.

Rocket noise blower (blue "pipe" extension) functions and makes "Genuine Rocket Motor Roar".
