I\'m selling a terrific tin friction TV CBS truck made by Marusan of Japan. The truck measures a little over 9 inches or 23 centimeters long and it is complete and original. It is in excellent, lightly played with condition; the original box is in rather poor condition. This is a terrific TV truck that is quite hard to find. The two tone paint is in excellent condition with a few small scratches and chips. The chrome trim is bright and shiny. The tires and base are in excellent condition. The antenna and light which fit on the top of the truck are complete and in excellent condition. This is a terrific tin friction toy with a battery operated component that sadly, does not work. My understanding is that the one C battery which the truck takes is used to light the light on the top of the truck and to spin the antenna. The battery case is very clean, but the battery op does not work. The friction motor works, a little; if you position the wheels correctly. I think it would be a fairly simple matter to fix the battery operated function; I always enjoyed the toy as it is and never was worried about the battery component. The box is in pretty poor condition; it is torn and missing a side flap and there are several tape repairs holding together the top of the box. It does make for a nice image though, even though it is quite rough. This toy is not in perfect condition but it is very nice and it is very hard to find as the antenna and camera tended to get lost from the main truck over the years. The truck is listed on page 149 of the wonderful Big Book of Tin Toy Cars Commercial and Racing Vehiclesand it is given a rarity rating of 9 on a scale of 1 to ten. Thanks for looking!!
