Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG
A FEW
OF MY
SCHUCO
MISCELLANEOUS
ITEMS/PARTS/ACCESSORIES.
SOME ARE TRUE NOS (NEW OLD S
TO
CK), SOME ARE LIGHTLY USED. I WILL DESCRIBE
WHAT IT IS THAT IS LISTED HERE BELOW IN GREAT DETAIL.
IF IT IS LISTED HERE ... IT WORKS AS IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO WORK!
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. THESE SCHUCO VARIANTO ACCESSORIES/SETS WILL BE NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY LIGHTLY USED, SCHUCO VARIANTO SET NUMBER
3010 V2
. ANOTHER WORD FOR THIS SET IS THEIR THIS IS THE
IR "VERKEHRSAMPEL
SET"
WHICH TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH MEANS "
TRAFFIC LIGHTS SET
".
THIS IS A GREAT SECTION TO HAVE, IF YOU HAVE A CITY OR RURAL LAYOUT AS IT ALLOWS FOR TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP (AT THE RED LIGHT) AND WAIT UNTIL A VEHICLE OR VEHICLES PASS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE GREEN LIGHT! WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRAFFIC LIGHT, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH DOWN ON ONE OF THE WHITE POLES WHICH STICK OUT FROM THE REAR OF THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. WHEN YOU DEPRESS ONE OF THESE POLES, AT THE SAME TIME, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ITSELF, PIVOTS FROM A RED LIGHT TO A GREEN LIGHT AND THE FOUR (4) RED POLES IN THE STREET ALSO SHIFT TO EITHER ALLOW THE TRAFFIC TO FLOW ... OR TO STOP IT.
THIS SECTION CAN BE CONNECTED INDEPENDENTLY OF ANY OTHER SECTION(S) IF SO DESIRED. THE WIRE OR SOLID STRANDS OF TRACK WORKS WITH THIS TYPE OF TRACK SECTION. THIS SECTION NUMBER 3051 IS BOTH FREE STANDING, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO USE THIS WITH THE ORIGINAL CLOCKWORK VERSIONS AND HAS THE CLIPS SO YOU CAN LINK THIS UP TO A LARGER POWER SUPPLY (TRANSFORMER). SO HERE YOU HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!! THESE RED POLES ON THE STREET ARE DESIGNED TO STOP BOTH THE CLOCKWORK AND ELEKTRO MODELS OF THESE VARIANTO VEHICLES.
NOTE
: ONCE THE TRACK IS SET-UP AND THE BATTERIES (TWO SIZE AA REQUIRED AND NOT INCLUDED) HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, YOU NEED TO DEPRESS THE THIN METAL LEVER WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRACK ON THE SIDE OF THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT ITSELF. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE "POWER" SWITCH. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 3051 ARE IN GERMAN AND THE PICTURES DO NOT POINT THIS OUT!
YOU PUSH IT DOWN TO POWER UP THE LIGHT.
IN ADDITION TO THE 3015 (FOUR WAY STOP LIGHT), YOU RECEIVE TWO (2) VEHICLES. A 3041 RED SEDAN (OR LIMO AS THEY CALL IT) AND A 3044 BUS IN BLUE. BOTH OF THESE CLOCKWORK VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ALL THREE (3) FORWARD SPEEDS WORK AS WELL AS THE "STOP" FUNCTION. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL SCHUCO NO. 2 KEY AND BOTH ALLOW YOU TO WIND THESE UP VIA THE HOLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE (LHD = LEFT HAND DRIVE).
THE RED SEDAN DOES HAVE A FEW SHALLOW DINGS FROM USAGE, THESE ARE NOT THAT BAD AND MECHANICALLY IT IS PERFECT! THE BUS IS IN ALL AROUND GOOD SHAPE WITH NO DINGS VISIBLE.
AS NOTED ABOVE, BOTH THE SPRING WIRE TRACK AND SOLID WIRE TRACK SECTIONS WORK WITH THIS 3051 (STOP SECTION) WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO GET CREATIVE WHEN CONSTRUCTING A LAY-OUT. YOU ALSO HAVE THE TWO (2) ORIGINAL STEERING CABLES WHICH ARE NOT NEEDED IF YOU STAY ON THE LAY-OUT YOU DESIGN. THESE STEERING CABLES ARE FOR "FREE STYLE" OR OFF THE TRACK CONTROL.
TO USE THIS WITH A ELEKTRO "SYSTEM" (TRANSFORMER) YOU HAVE THE CLIPS ON THE SIDES OF THE BATTERY BOX FOR THIS APPLICATION.
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. THE LID HAS BEEN RE-GLUED AT ALL OF THE INTERNAL CORNERS. THE INSERT IS RECREATED AND THE WHITE ELASTIC STRING IS ALSO NEW.  THE BASE IS ORIGINAL AND IN VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE.
THE INSTRUCTIONS HERE ARE ORIGINAL AND ALSO PRINTED IN GERMAN. THESE ARE NOT IN ENGLISH AND ARE ONLY IN GERMAN. IN THE LATER YEARS, THEY DESIGNED THESE TO BE IN MULTI-LANGUAGES. YOU ALSO HAVE A BASIC AND SMALL "SCHUCO VARIANTO" BOOKLET SHOWING SOME OF THEIR BASIC STARTER KITS AND MORE COMPLEX SETS.
THIS SCHUCO VARIANTO
SET 3010 V2
WOULD BE
A GREAT ADDITION TO ONES
COLLECTION
. AS NOTED ABOVE, TH
IS IS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION/ORDER. YOU DO HAVE SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR AND USAGE, BUT, YOU HAVE NO CHIPS, CRACKS OR ANY LITTLE SECTIONS BROKEN OFF WHERE THE WIRE TRACK CLICKS INTO THIS SECTION.
THIS HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION SINCE MY DAD BROUGHT THIS HOME TO ME AS A CHILD. THIS WAS OFF TO THE SIDE OF MY TRACK AND AS SUCH, THIS WAS OFTEN NEVER EVEN POWERED UP. EVEN THE LIGHT BULB IS ORIGINAL AND STILL WORKING!
ONCE AGAIN, TH
IS ACCE
SSORY
WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AND ALL VARIANTO SETS/KITS/ AND ARRANGEMENTS! YOU CAN EVEN UPGRADE THIS SET TO BATTERY OPERATED ... IF YOU SO DESIRE.
TH
ESE
ARE
MY BEST EXAMPLES
OF THESE ITEMS I HAVE
AVAILABLE TO ME
. I DO HAVE A BUNCH OF OTHER ACCESSORIES THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS/MONTHS.
AGAIN, THE BOX IS 100% ORIGINAL AND HAS HAD SOME ADDED GLUE PLACED ON THE INSIDE OF THE LIDS CORNERS. THE BOX WAS/IS MADE IN THE US ZONE OF GERMANY WHICH WAS AROUND BETWEEN THE YEARS 1945 ~ 1950.
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!
THIS 3010 V2 IS FULLY TESTED AND WORKS PERFECTLY AND LOOKS
PRETT
Y NICE TOO!
