VINTAGE 1960 JAPAN LINEMAR LINE MAR MARX SMOKING SPACEMAN ROBOT TIN BAT OP TOY
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:14241590 |
THIS ROBOT CURRENTLY DOES NOT WORK. When I first got it a couple of days ago, it "MOSTLY" worked. The light on his head turned on, and spun around, and he would take half a step forward & backward. I honestly can't remember if his eyes lit up. It did NOT smoke. I tested him twice, and both times he worked as listed above. Since then, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN. I gave him a spot of oil, but have made no oth...er attempt to fix it, as I don't know anything about working on old toys. I'm pretty sure this is an easy fix - IF you know what to do. His back is marked: "LINE MAR TOYS...JAPAN...Copyright LINE MAR CO. INC." Collectors will know that "Line Mar" was the Japan branch of Marx Toys. This robot was called "Smoking Spaceman", and was sold in 1960. He measures approximately 11 inches tall, or 11 & 3/4 inches, if you include the top light. He runs on 2 D cell batteries. In addition to currently NOT working, there are a couple of other flaws. 1.) He is MISSING THE SQUARE DOME LIGHT COVER and 2.) MISSING THE REAR WHEEL UNDER HIS LEFT FOOT. (I suspect THIS is the reason that, when he WAS working, he only took a half step forward, before taking a half step back.) He seems to be a great candidate for restoration. With a replacement wheel and top dome, and a little "tinkering", he will be a nice piece. Both battery compartments are clean. There is some thin rust on some of the trim, but it looks like it will buff out with fine steel wool. This robot is guaranteed to be old & original - made almost 60 - years ago - or your money back.I am here to help you with any questions!!!
