Looks like lots of neat stuff posted so far. Yesterday there was an "Atomic Age" thread started by
@SJ_BIKER ,
https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/the-atomic-age-design.207153/page-2#post-1416393 that has some really neat modern/space/deco/fun toys and all things related posted.
I almost had a heart attack with the starting item. A HUGE 30" Atom Jet toy car posted by
@SJ_BIKER that I've been seeking for a couple of decades. It was "reference only" taken from a website, so I still didn't find one. There is a rough on on Ebay for $3600.00, so a nice one, and you have a good payday as a seller, finder fee, whatever.
If you have one/know of one, PM me please. ( this is the one pictured here, not mine, not SJ's, just for reference)
Needless to say, being a toy collector, I put up some pics from my collection yesterday on the "Atomic Age Design" thread. Look if you want. Today, more stuff from the week. Ebay: 50 years of Schwinn built bicycles book. I'm sure we have all seen it. I owned a copy 30 years ago, sold to buy food. Mine is autographed by Frank Schwinn on page 31, a common practice I think I heard? Also signed by Alfred Letourner on page 53. Common? The book was a very large run and boxes of them were found years ago. I think a Caber was there to find them? Interesting book with great graphics. I can post a few pics if requested.
Ebay:Then a really cool flat out MINT battery op ( looks like about a '69- 1970 Mustang Mach 1) stunt car. It works perfect, box is minty, great graphics. An arm lifts up underneath and puts the car into a flip and roll then retracts. It looks to have never been rolled. Not a scratch. I'm too chicken to let it roll on our floor with sand from our dogs feet etc. It won't work on carpet.
Then I got a nice original cream Delta Rocket Ray from Bad Bob Snyder, and a repro bottom from Dan Bicycle bones, and a complete repro R/R from Ebay. The early R/R repops were not made well, but these ones are better than decent. I may use the Repro bottom for my Western Flyer (s) X-53's to be shipped soon from Ohio. It has badly rusted battery clips. I had the lights pre-shipped to avoid loss or damage when the bikes come. I lined the lights up for a pic. Included is the nicely restored ( Ebay purchase) mauve/opal finish R/R I showed another time.
HAPPY EASTER CABERS!
