1960 TECHNOFIX NR. 299 AUTOKREUZUNG MIT TANKSTELLE (GAS STATION) 100% COMPLETE:
$399.00

HERE I AM OFFERING ANOTHER ONE OF MY ORIGINAL, TECHNOFIX, ANTIQUE MODELS. THIS IS THE MODEL NUMBER 299 WHICH IS/WAS THE LAST OF THREE (3) MODELS MADE IN 1960. THIS SET WAS MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY. AS THE GERMANS CALL THIS, IT IS A AUTOKREUZUNG MIT TANKSTELLE (QUICK SERVICE FILLING STATION, HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS \"GAS STATION\") MODEL.THIS GAS STATION MODEL/TRACK IS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION! THE FULLY TIN BASE/TRACK LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE YESTERDAY! BUT, THIS IS AN ORIGINAL EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE ITEM FROM MARKE/TECHNOFIX FROM WESTERN GERMANY. THIS GAS STATION HAS NO PLASTIC ANYWHERE ON IT... IN FACT, THE ONLY PIECE OF PLASTIC HERE IS THE EVER-SO-RARE \"STOP SIGN\"!! THE COLOR AND TIN ARE IN EXCELLENT ALL AROUND CONDITION AS IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN WELL CARED FOR IN MY HEATED BASEMENT FOR MANY A YEARS NOW. PRIOR TO THAT, IT WAS IN MY PARENT\'S HOME IN MY OLD BEDROOM, STASHED IN MY OLD WALK IN CLOSET.THE BASE IS MADE FROM 100% TIN AND ALL OF THE CONTROLS WORK PERFECTLY. THE GAS ATTENDANT COMES OUT EACH AND EVERY TIME AROUND AND GOES BACK IN WHEN THE CAR PULLS AWAY. THE EVER SO RARE PLASTIC STOP SIGN IS PRESENT AND THIS IS NEVER LOCATED WITH THESE SETS AS IT IS SO TINY AND FRAIL!WHAT MAKES THIS MODEL/SET SO SPECIAL IS THAT NOT ONLY IS IT IN PERFECT CONDITION, WITH NO TWEAKS OR CREASES ON THE BASE, IT HAS BOTH OF THE ORIGINAL VEHICLES IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION/ORDER (WITH THE ORIGINAL 2 KEYS) AND THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC STOP SIGN! THIS SIGN IS ORIGINAL AND HAS NEVER BEEN DAMAGED AND/OR REPAIRED! THE ORIGINAL BOX IS ALSO INCLUDED AS WELL!! AS YOU CAN SEE THIS HAS BEEN WELL STORED OVER THE DECADES. AS FAR AS THE BASE GOES, YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, IT IS LITERALLY VERY CLOSE TO PERFECT WITH THE ONLY SIGN OF AGING LOCATED ON THE REAR SECTION OF THE GAS STATION ITSELF. AFTER MORE THEN 5 DECADES, TIME HAS STARTED TO PEAK THROUGH IN THE FORM OF SOME VERY SLIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL RUST ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. IT IS VERY MILD AND AS I JUST STATED, SUPERFICIAL.THE TWO (2) ORIGINAL CARS ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE/CONDITION FOR THEIR AGE. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR ON THE BODY. THE CHASSIS\'S ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION. ALTHOUGH BOTH OF THESE BODIES ARE NOT IN SHOWCASE CONDITION, THEY ARE, HOWEVER MECHANICALLY STRONG AND BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES HERE WORK PERFECTLY! MIND YOU THESE SHOW A LITTLE WEAR, BUT, ONCE AGAIN BOTH OF THESE ARE ORIGINAL AND WORKING PERFECTLY! THESE VEHICLES WERE INTRODUCED WITH THE THE \"TRAFFIC CONTROL\" SET WHICH WAS INTRODUCED IN 1959 (THE YEAR PRIOR TO THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS SET). THIS IS WHY YOU WILL SEE \"295\" ON THE REAR LICENSE PLATE OF THESE CARS.... THEY SIMPLY USED WHAT THEY HAD ON HAND! THE FACT IS THEY MADE NO SPECIFIC VEHICLE FOR THIS SET, AS SUCH YOU WILL NEVER SEE A VEHICLE WITH \"299\" ON IT\'S LICENSE PLATE! THESE VEHICLES ARE CORRECT AND THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL SET THAT CAME WITH IT!! YOU CAN ALSO SEE THESE ARE MARKED \"MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY\" ON EACH VEHICLE.AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THEME HERE IS \"QUICK SERVICE FILLING STATION\". THIS IS ONE OF THE EASIEST TECHNOFIX MODEL TO SET UP AND USE! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO LIE THE BASE ON A FLAT SURFACE, INSERT THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL STOP SIGN, WIND UP ONE OF THE VEHICLES AND PLACE IT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW. THIS VEHICLE WILL TAKE OFF... ONLY TO STOP AT THE FILLING STATION..... HERE YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE ATTENDANT WILL COME OUT OF THE STATION AND APPROACH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STOPS. GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT HE IS FILLING UP THE CARS TANK. NEXT YOU WIND YOU THE SECOND VEHICLE AND PLACE IT ON THE OTHER SECTION OF THE TRACK (THE FURTHEST SECTION OF TRACK TO YOUR RIGHT...BETWEEN THE TWO ARROWS ON THE TRACK). THIS VEHICLE WILL TAKE OFF AND APPROACH THE INTERSECTION. ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION, PRIOR TO CROSSING THE INTERSECTION, THERE IS A SMALL TRIGGER WHICH WILL ALLOW THE OTHER VEHICLE (THE ONE AT THE GAS STATION) TO START MOVING AHEAD ONCE AGAIN. IT WILL PULL AHEAD AND IT WILL STOP ONCE AGAIN AT THE INTERSECTION (STOP SING).ONCE THE SECOND VEHICLE REACHES THE GAS STATION, ONCE AGAIN THE ATTENDANT WILL COME OUT AND GREET THE CAR AS IT STOPS, BUT, IT WILL NOW RELEASE THE OTHER VEHICLE WHICH IS STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION. THIS VEHICLE WILL NOW FOLLOW THE SAME COURSE AS THE OTHER VEHICLE AND SWING AROUND AND CROSS THE INTERSECTION.THE COOL THING IS THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AT LEAST ONE VEHICLE IS MOVING! ANOTHER GREAT FEATURE IS THAT WHILE THE VEHICLES ARE NOT MOVING, THEIR STRONG CLOCKWORK MOTOR RESTS AND DOES NOT USE ANY OF IT\'S TENSION, SO THE VEHICLES SEEM TO MOVE A LOT MORE THEN THEY ACTUALLY DO! WHEN WOUND UP, BOTH VEHICLES WILL DO ABOUT 8 LAPS AROUND THE TRACK PRIOR TO HAVING TO BE WOUND UP AGAIN. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE MORE THESE ARE USED, THE LONGER THEY WILL RUN! THE SPRING SEEMS TO LIKE THIS TIGHTENING AND RELEASING EFFECT AND RESPONDS FAVORABLY TO IT. AS A CHILD, I FULLY WOUND THESE VEHICLES, AS AN ADULT, I DARE NOT!! YOU CAN DO AS YOU PLEASE, BUT HERE, A LITTLE DUE DILIGENCE MIGHT BE APPLIED DUE TO THEIR AGE!THIS IS A GREAT GAME/MODEL THAT WILL KEEP YOU AND YOURS ENTERTAINED FOR A LONG TIME! THE ORIGINAL BOX HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS WITHOUT A DOUBT! FOR ITS AGE THE COLOR ON THE BOX\'S TOP IS NOT AS SHARP AS TODAY\'S STANDARDS, BUT, STILL SHARP AND CLEAN. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE PRINTING WAS DONE IN WESTERN GERMANY BACK IN 1959/1960! ALL OF THE BOXES SMALL END FLAPS ARE MISSING (ALL FOUR 4 OF THEM) AND ONE OF THE LARGE ENDS IS ALSO MISSING IN ACTION! THE BOX ITSELF DOES HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF WEAR AND SOME TEARS ARE LOCATED IN A FEW PLACES. NO INSTRUCTIONS EVER ACCOMPANIED THIS MODEL AS THEY PRINTED THESE ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX! WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST AND MOST COMPLETE EXAMPLES AVAILABLE OF THE AUTOKREUZUNG MIT TANKSTELLE (GAS STATION) MODELS OFFERED HERE ON .ALL OF WHAT YOU SEE IN MY PICTURES IS ORIGINAL.I TAKE PRIDE IN MY ITEMS/MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE 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.
