THIS IS A GREAT WASHINGTON DC AREA ESTATE ATTIC FIND FOR A VINTAGE JAPANESE IMPORT ROBOT / SPACE TOY COLLECTION. IT\'S AN OLD 1950s JAPANESE IMPORT ACE FLASHY JIM BATTERY OPERATED TIN LITHO ROBOT. HE IS SUPER CLEAN & COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL BATTERY CONTROL BOX AND CORD. I WAS ADVISED BY THE ESTATE THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE BOX PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED. THE BOX IS ORIGINAL, BUT RESTORED. THE ROBOT STANDS APPROX. 7\" TALL. HE IS NOT RUSTED OUT, BENT UP, DENTED UP, PLAY WORN, BEAT UP, SOILED UP, CHOPPED UP, MODIFIED OR REPAIRED. HIS COLORS ARE CRISP & BRIGHT ALL OVER. THE MOTOR & GEARS LOOK AS CLEAN AS THE ROBOT. IT\'S NOT STRIPPED. I TESTED THE TOY WITH 2 GOOD \"C\" BATTERIES, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. IT COULD BE A LOOSE WIRE OR A DRY MOTOR FROM DECADES W/O USE. I DO NOT KNOW, BUT THE ROBOT DID NOT RUN WITH BATTERIES IN IT. THE BATTERY CONTROL BOX IS NOT ACID ROTTED, BENT UP OR BROKEN. IT\'S CLEAN INSIDE. THE WIRE POWER CORD IS NOT CRUMBLING OR REPAIRED. THE BOX IS NOT CRUSHED, SPLIT OR CRUMBLING. AS STATED ABOVE, I WAS ADVISED THE BOX WAS RESTORED. I HOPE THIS EARLY ROBOT GOES TO A GOOD SPACE TOY COLLECTION. IT\'S BEING OFFERED, WITH NO WARRANTIES, AS A VINTAGE BATTERY OPERATED TOY FOR AN ADULT COLLECTION, NOT AS A MODERN SAFETY TESTED CHILD\'S TOY FOR PLAY USE. I HAVE NOT CLEANED OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. IT\'S BEING OFFERED FRESH FROM AN ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.
