VINTAGE SCHUCO HAND CRANKED/POWERED DYNAMO JET W/BOX! FULLY WORKING BOEING 747.

Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG
UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY RARE, VINTAGE SCHUCO MODELS.
HERE I AM OFFERING UP A MID 1970'S, VINTAGE AND IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION/ORDER "DYNAMO JET" IN THE ERA CORRECT MOTIF OF AIR FRANCE. THIS "BOEING 747 JUMBO JET" HAS A VERY RARE AND FULLY OPERATIONAL HAND CRANKED/GENERATED POWER SUPPLY WITH A TETHERED REMOTE CONTROL (MORE ON THIS LATER). HEREAFTER THIS BOEING MODEL 747 JUMBO JET WILL SIMPLE BE REFERRED TO AS A "JET".
THE BODY ON THIS JET IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING CONSIDERED NEW! NOTHING IS BROKEN OR MISSING. THE TOP SECTION OF THE FUSELAGE IS MADE OUT OF TIN AND ALL OF THE GRAPHICS YOU SEE HERE ARE HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY, MEANING YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE ADHESIVE BLEEDING THROUGH OR THESE FALLING OFF! HERE YOU HAVE NO DINGS, DENTS, RUST CREASES OR CORROSION.
THE BALANCE OF THIS JET IS MADE FROM PLASTIC. THE WINGS ARE 100% ORIGINAL WITH NO BREAKS, CRACKS OR REPAIRS. ALL OF THE FOUR (4) JET ENGINES ARE STILL FACTORY ATTACHED.
THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FUSELAGE LOOKS LIKE LIKE IT WAS PRODUCED JUST LAST YEAR! YOU HAVE NO ISSUES HERE AND THE SMALLER THREE (3) REAR WINGS ARE ALSO FACTORY ATTACHED AND IN PERFECT ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT REPRESENTING THIS JET AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), FOR IT IS NOT. HOWEVER, I AM REPRESENTING THIS JET AS AN ORIGINAL, UNTOUCHED MODEL IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL SHAPE/CONDITION WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN REPAIRED OR ALTERED (AS IT HAS NEVER REQUIRED ANY SERVICE).
ALL OF THE TINY TIRES ARE REALLY RUBBER "O-RINGS" AND THESE ARE STILL SOFT AND PLIABLE. HERE YOU HAVE NO CRACKS, SPLITS, FLAT SPOTS, REPAIRS OR ISSUES WITH EITHER THE WHEELS OR TIRES. IF AND WHEN THESE DO BREAK AND FALL OFF, THEY WILL BE EASY TO REPLACE AS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO LOCATE ANY LOWES, HOME DEPOT OR AUTO PARTS STORE AND THERE YOU'LL FIND YOUR REPLACEMENT TIRES IN THE PLUMBING SECTION. THE EXCEPTION IS THE FRONT WHEEL WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PIVOT WHEN THIS JET IS BACKING UP. THE WHEEL/TIRE COMBO IS MADE FULLY OF RUBBER. NO ISSUES EXIST HERE EITHER.
THIS JET HAS A VERY UNIQUE HAND CRANKED GENERATOR (POWER SOURCE). THIS IS HOW THIS WORKS....
YOU ATTACH THE CABLE TO THE JET BY PUSHING THE FLAT PLUG INTO THE RECEIVER WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS JET (AS PICTURED) NEAR THE FRENCH FLAG. 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 JET AND GENERATOR, YOU NOW PLACE THE JET DOWN ON ANY HARD AND LEVEL SURFACE.
NOW YOU SIMPLY START TURNING THE HAND HELD GENERATOR AND THIS JET WILL EITHER GO FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO MASTER IT'S CONTROL, AS YOU BACK THE JET UP, IT WILL VEER OFF TO THE RIGHT. SO WITH SOME TIME AND EXPERIENCE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CONTROL THIS JET LIKE A PILOT!
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 JET GOES.
AS THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS WERE LOST DECADES AGO, SO PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE THESE WHEN THIS JET ARRIVES.
PLEASE NOTE: IF THIS JET 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 JET'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 INDY RACE CAR VERSION. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF THESE IN HOUSE AND I WILL BE LISTING THEM SHORTLY.
ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE VINTAGE MODEL RARELY FOUND HERE ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE.
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS PRESENT AND IN VERY GOOD OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. THE INSERT WAS REMOVED AND MISPLACED DECADES AGO, SO IT WILL BE LOADED UP WITH FOAM AND BUBBLE WRAP TO PROTECT IT FROM ITS-SELF. YOU DO HAVE A RETAIL STICKER ON THE TOP AND ORIGINAL TAPE WAS USED TO KEEP THE LID ATTACHED TO THE BASE. YOU CAN SEE THE RESIDUAL TAPE MARKS ON THE LID. ALSO A SMALL SECTION OF THE LID APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PULLED OFF WHEN SOMEONE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE TAPE.
YOU HAVE NO ADDED GLUE ON THIS BOX. ALSO NOTE THAT THIS BOX FOR THE 1078 DYNAMO JET IS A GENERIC BOX WHICH IS USED FOR ANY AND ALL OF THE AIRLINES WHICH THEY USED AS BASES FOR THEIR MODELS.
THE GRAPHICS ARE CLEAN AND SHARP ON THE LID AND 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. 1078.
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE OWNED OR HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 PLUS DECADES.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS
SCHUCO
DYNAMO JET
WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL AND TO ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION.
