HERE I AM OFFERING UP A VINTAGE, FROM 1970, PLASTIC AND TIN, BATTERY OPERATED, TECHNOFIX NR. 330 TWIN TRAIN IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX (MORE ON THIS BOX LATER).
THIS IS THE THIRD (3RD) TOY OF THE FIVE (5) TECHNOFIX TOYS/MODELS RELEASED BACK IN 1970.
HERE THE KICKER IS THAT THIS NR. 330 TWIN TRAIN IS IN PERFECT, ORIGINAL OPERATIONAL CONDITION/SHAPE AND COMES WITH BOTH OF ITS ORIGINAL GRAVITY DRIVEN TRAINS WITH THEIR ATTACHED CARS WHICH ARE STILL SAFELY HELD IN THEIR ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERT.
AS JUST NOTED THE ORIGINAL BOX IS INCLUDED AND THIS BOX DOES HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL TAPE IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS (AS PICTURED AND VIDEOED). IN ADDITION, ALL FOUR (4) OF THE INNER SMALLER END FLAPS ARE MISSING AS WELL AS THREE (3) OF THE FOUR (4) LARGER END PANELS HAVE GONE MISSING AS WELL. THE REMAINING LARGER END FLAP IS HELD ONTO ITS BASE BY TAPE (AS PICTURED AND VIDEOED).
BELOW IS A SHORT VIDEO OF THIS EXACT TECHNOFIX NR. 330 TWIN TRAIN FROM IT BEING PULLED OUT OF ITS ORIGINAL BOX TO PLACING IT DOWN ON OUR COUNTER TOP, INSPECTING IT AND ADDING IN THE SINGLE SIZE \"D\" BATTERY (WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED) AND WATCHING THIS VINTAGE TWIN TRAIN TOY FROM WESTERN GERMANY DO ITS THING ..... TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
WE DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE THE ADDITIONAL TIME TO REVIEW BOTH ... THE 24 STILL PICTURES AND THE EMBEDDED VIDEO BELOW:

HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO WATCH THE ABOVE EMBEDDED VIDEO ... THIS WAY YOU YOURSELF CAN JUDGE IT\'S OVERALL CONDITION AND WORKING FUNCTIONS OF THIS RARE, COMPLETE, VINTAGE, BOXED, FULLY OPERATIONAL, BATTERY OPERATED NR.330 TWIN TRAIN FROM TECHNOFIX MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY BACK IN 1970.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL YOU SEE HERE IS ORIGINAL TO THIS TWIN TRAIN .... EVEN IT\'S BOX IS ORIGINAL! AS NOTED ABOVE,THIS BOX DOES SHOW SOME WEAR AND HAS ADDITIONAL TAPE PLACED ON IT IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.
ALTHOUGH I DO NOT CLAIM THIS 1970 TECHNOFIX TWIN TRAIN IS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), WHICH IT IS NOT. I AM, HOWEVER CLAIMING THAT THIS VINTAGE, BOXED NR. 330 FROM TECHNOFIX IS 100% COMPLETE, ORIGINAL AND WORKING EXACTLY AS IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO DO .... AND COMES IN IT\'S ORIGINAL BOX WITH ITS PROTECTIVE INSERT AND BOTH OF THE GRAVITY RAN TRAINS WITH THE ATTACHED CARS AS PICTURED AND VIDEOED.
THIS NR. 330 HAS NO RUST, CORROSION, DENTS OR DINGS FOUND ON ANY OF THE TIN SECTION/PIECES. IN ADDITION, THE PLASTIC BASE HAS NO BREAKS. CRACKS OR CURRENT ISSUES.
THIS NR. 330 ALSO HAS THE OPTIONAL \"BELL\" WHICH DOES WORK .... SOME OF THE TIME! YOU\'LL NOTICE AND HEAR IT RING IN THE VIDEO .... BUT, YOU\'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. THIS IS OLD TECHNOLOGY AND AS SUCH, IS NOT AS RELIABLE AS TODAYS TECHNOLOGY, SO BE PATIENT WITH IT.
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THERE IS A LEVER WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO GUIDE THE INCOMING TRAIN TO EITHER THE INNER OR OUTTER TRACK SECTION. THIS LEVER IS LABLED \"B\" AND IS LOCATED TO THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER. IT IS CONTROLLED BY A SINGLE FINGER.
IN ADDITION, THE OVERHEAD SECTION, HAS A YELLOW AND WHITEARM LOCATED AT THE TOP AND A YELLOW AND WHITE LEVER LOCATED ON THE SMALL FRONT SIDE SECTION. BY PULLING OUT EITHER ONE OF THESE LEVERS WILL RELEASE THE TRAIN WHICH RESTS BEHIND IT AND START IT OFF ON ITS JOURNEY. BY PUSHING IN THIS LEVER WILL STOP THE TRAIN FROM ITS NEXT \"ROUND\".
WITH VERY LITTLE PRACTICE, YOU OR YOUR CHILD WILL EASILY MASTER THIS OPERATION AND THIS DOES REQUIRE A LEVEL OF INTERACTION!!
YOU WILL RECEIVE, FROM US ALL WHICH IS PICTURED, VIDEOED AND DISCUSSED HERE.
