Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG ONE OF MY SCHUCO
ARTICLE/ITEM
NUMBER 2098 TIN RACERS IN THE RARE,  "MONTAGE-GRAND-PRIX MERCEDES 1936" SET/KIT
AS TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK).
HERE YOU HAVE AN UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THIS VINTAGE SET, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN ASSEMBLED OR REMOVED FORM IT'S ORIGINAL BOX UNTIL THESE PICTURES..... UNFORTUNATELY, THIS CAN BE SEEN FROM THE ISSUES CONTAINED WITHIN THE INNER LINER (MORE ON THIS LATER).
WITH THIS BEING SAID, THIS REPRODUCTION MODEL DOES USE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL DIES AND PLATES TO ACCURATELY RE-CREATE THIS MODEL RACER 1075. THE SPECIAL PART IS THAT THEY MADE THIS INTO THIS "MONTAGE" VERSION AND IS NOT PRE-ASSEMBLED. AS SUCH, THEY ALSO ASSIGNED A DIFFERENT ITEM NUMBER TO THIS FAMILIAR 1075 RACER .... THIS, AS A MONTAGE SET, NOW BECOMES A 2098.

SO FOR THE SAKE OF SIMPLICITY, THIS "
GRAND PRIX RACER MONTAGE" WILL SIMPLY BE REFERRED TO AS A "KIT" HENCEFORTH.
WITH THIS KIT, NO MAJOR WORK IS REQUIRED, BUT, IT DOES OFFER THE YOUNGSTERS A CHANCE TO TEST THEIR SKILLS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION AND TIRE'S INSTALLATION. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TOYS THAT DOES REQUIRE SOME IMAGINATION! THIS CONCEPT OF IMAGINATION HAS LOST IT'S WAY, THUS CREATING A LARGE COLLECTIBLES MARKET FOR ITEMS OF THIS CALIBER.
WITH THIS SCHUCO KIT, YOU HAVE THE BASIC SIX (6) TOOLS TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1.) DOUBLE ENDED WRENCH,
2.) KEY,
3.) SINGLE SIDED WRENCH W/FLAT END FOR TIRE REMOVAL,
4.) HAMMER,
5.) JACK STAND AND
6.) SCREWDRIVER.
I HAVE HAD THIS KIT 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 A BUNCH OF THESE KITS IN VARIOUS MODELS AND EDITIONS.
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, VINTAGE, TIN SCHUCO KIT WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES (INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE) IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN
EXCELLENT
CONDITION/SHAPE.
THE GRAPHICS ARE ALL CLEAR AND FULLY
LEGIBLE
. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS OFFERING DOES HAVE THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE THAT CAME WITH THIS
MODEL. THIS SLEEVE IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND HAS ADDED SOME EXTRA PROTECTION TO THE ORIGINAL BOX. YOU DO HAVE SOME SHELF RASH ON THIS SLEEVE, NOT MUCH AT ALL, BUT SHOULD BE NOTED.
THE INNER BOX IS IN ALL AROUND EXCELLENT CONDITION/SHAPE. THE INNER INSERT DOES HAVE A FEW ISSUES AS THE CONTENTS OF THE HEAVY CLOCKWORK ENGINE/DRIVE-TRAIN SHIFTED AROUND SLIGHTLY CAUSING THE BRITTLE INSERT TO CRACK AND BREAK IN PLACES. PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS AREA OF CONCERN.
CONTAINED WITHIN THE INNER BOX IS BASIC AND HOLDS ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO ASSEMBLE AND USE THIS TIN CLOCKWORK RACER.
SCHUCO SUPPLIES YOU WITH AN OLD STYLE JACK O
R
LIFT, THAT USES BODY WEIGHT AS LEVERAGE TO LIFT
THE CAR
OF THE GROUND. HERE YOU
R
FINGER WILL
SUFFICE
! IN ADDITION TO THE JACK, YOU HAVE A DOUBLE END
WRENCH WHICH WILL RELEASE THE
WHEE
LS FROM THE CAR (OR PLACE THEM ON IT). THE
SINGLE ENDED
WRENCH IS DESIGNED TO REMOVE AND
TO CHANGE
THE TIRES FROM THE WHEELS. THE HAMMER IS JUST FOR EFFECTS AND HAS NO REAL USE AND OF COURSE THE SCREWDRIVER.
NOW YOU NEED TO ASSEMBLE THIS VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS. THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT TASK AND IF YOU HAVE A SMALL CHILD, THIS IS A GREAT TRAINING TASK FOR HIM/HER.
ONCE YOU'VE COMPLETED THESE TASKS AT HAND, YOUR NOW READY TO HAVE SOME FUN! THIS MODEL HAS A VERY UNIQUE CLOCKWORK MOTOR. YOU CAN USE THE INCLUDED KEY/CRANK TO WIN
D THE MOTOR O
R 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 ROLL
ING MODEL AS WELL! SCHUCO HAS A
DESIGNED IT SO NO DAMAGE WILL HAPPEN TO THE CLOCKWORK MO
TOR IF YOU DECIDE TO JUST PUSH IT OR PULL IT AROUND.
THE MAYOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 1075 AND THIS 2098 IS TWO-FOLD. YES, YOU DO NEED TO BUILD THE 2098 AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WITH THE 1075 AND SECONDLY, THE 1075 HAS A "HAND BRAKE" THIS BRAKE DOES WORK VERY WELL TO HOLD THIS RACER IN PLACE.... BUT DOES NOT APPEAR IN THIS 2098 VERSION.
NOW,
WHEN YOU DONE, YOU CAN EASILY BREAK
THIS MODEL
DOWN AND PLACE ALL OF THE
COMPONENTS
B
ACK I
NTO THERE ORIGINAL PLACES
.... UNTIL NEXT TIME
! ONCE AGAIN, THIS PARTICULAR KIT HAS NEVER BEEN ASSEMBLED MAKING IT TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK).
PLEAS
E 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 ASSE
MBLED OR USED AS BOX RASH IS A COMMON THREAT WITH NOS VINTAGE/ANTIQUE ITEMS! I COULD NOT LOCATE ANY, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN NONE EXISTS ... SOMEWHERE!
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
KIT NUMBER
2098 IS STILL UNTESTED AND UPON VISUAL INSPECTION, THE CLOCKWORK SPRING IS IN PERFECT SHAPE/CONDITION.
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
