THIS MODEL IS ALSO A KIT OF SORTS. NO MAJOR WORK IS REQUIRED, BUT, IT OFFERS THE YOUNGSTERS AND COLLECTORS A CHANCE TO TEST THEIR SKILLS WITH WHEEL INSTALLATION AND TIRE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TOYS THAT DOES REQUIRE SOME IMAGINATION!
THIS CONCEPT OF IMAGINATION HAS LOST ITS WAY, THUS CREATING A LARGE COLLECTIBLES MARKET FOR ITEMS OF THIS CALIBER. THIS IS A 1:20 SCALE MAKING IT ONE OF THE LARGEST SCALE, FULLY TIN CLOCKWORK MODELS AVAILABLE FROM SCHUCO IN A LONG TIME.
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES OR SO. I HAVE HAD THIS SCHUCO STUDIO III MODEL/SET IN MY POSSESSION SINCE NEW AND NOW AND I HAVE DECIDED TO START SELLING OFF MY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE/VINTAGE MODELS, TRAINS, PLANES, BOATS, E
TC
....
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE, TIN SCHUCO MERCEDES BENZ W196 WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION/SHAPE. THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE IS ALSO PRESENT AND DOES HAVE SOME SHELF WEAR AND SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE. THE GRAPHICS ARE ALL CLEAR AND FULLY LEGIBLE, IF YOU READ GERMAN THAT IS!
THE INSIDE IS BASIC AND HOLDS THE WHEELS WHICH ARE TWO SIDED, AS ONE SIDE IS RED WHILE THE OTHER SIDE IS BLUE. NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE THE WHEELS, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TWO FULL SETS OF TIRES! BOTH OF WHICH HAVE DIFFERENT TREADS. SCHUCO SUPPLIES YOU WITH AN OLD STYLE JACK OR LIFT, THAT USES BODY WEIGHT AS LEVERAGE TO LIFT THE CAR OFF THE GROUND. HERE YOUR FINGER WILL SUFFICE! IN ADDITION TO THE JACK, YOU HAVE A DOUBLE END WRENCH WHICH WILL RELEASE THE WHEELS FROM THE CAR (OR PLACE THEM ON IT). THE SINGLE ENDED WRENCH IS DESIGNED TO REMOVE AND TO CHANGE THE TIRES FROM THE WHEELS.
NOW YOU NEED TO PLACE THE STEERING WHEEL INTO PLACE AND HERE YOU USE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOUBLE WRENCH TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK. THE SMALL NUT IS IN THE SEALED BAG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL (THEY EVEN PROVIDED A SECOND NUT IN CASE YOU MISPLACE ONE).
NOW YOUR SET TO HAVE SOME FUN! THIS MODEL HAS A VERY UNIQUE CLOCKWORK MOTOR. YOU CAN USE THE COOL CRANK TO WIND THE MOTOR OR SIMPLY PUSH DOWN ON THE REAR END AND ROLL IT FORWARD. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE PRESSURE, IT WILL TAKE OFF IN A FORWARD DIRECTION. BUT, YOU CAN ALSO USE THIS AS A FREE ROLLING MODEL AS WELL! SCHUCO HAS  DESIGNED IT SO NO DAMAGE WILL HAPPEN TO THE CLOCKWORK MOTOR IF YOU DECIDE TO JUST PUSH IT OR PULL IT AROUND.
NOW, WHEN YOU'RE DONE, YOU CAN EASILY BREAK THIS MODEL DOWN AND PLACE ALL OF THE COMPONENTS BACK INTO THERE ORIGINAL PLACES.... UNTIL NEXT TIME!
PLEASE NOTE, THAT YOU MIGHT FIND SOME LIGHT EVIDENCE OF WEAR ON THE MODEL AS IT HAS BEEN MOVED AROUND FROM PLACE TO PLACE. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, IT HAS NEVER BEEN ASSEMBLED OR USED, HOWEVER, BOX RASH IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH OLDER NOS ITEMS!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY 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. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! ON VERY RARE OCCASIONS, I OPT NOT TO TEST MY LISTINGS, THIS SCHUCO CLOCKWORK MODEL NUMBER
01644
WILL NOT NEED TO BE TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL! IF YOU DO OPT TO PLACE IT TOGETHER AND USE IT, I WILL GUARANTEE IT 100% AND NOT TO BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND SUPPLY ME WITH YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL DO THE REST!
