[QUOTE="chipsteak, post: 503980, member: 5867"] I'm a latecomer to the transport party and I think it's mine that prompted Cazza to bump the thread. I had been fancying one but it was important the sound worked: I like the idea of fragile tiny records surviving all this time. I bought mine from eBay advertised as complete but making an unintelligible sound. From experience, I know that vintage SW motors can be awoken by simply pressing them repeatedly for ages like a desperate child who can't accept his toy has broken. And if it makes any sort of sound then said persevering tends to work. That's as good as my repair skills get. And now it works perfectly as you'll see in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-HdKc9U9x8 It's a piece from just before my time as I'm a child of ESB and I never really longed after it like some other early toys but I'm loving it, especially the sounds. I admit to actually playing with this thing. God, I'd have loved this as a kid. [/QUOTE]
