Vintage, Plastic & Tin B/o Daiya Gantry Crane Fully Working With Original Box

  

IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL FEATURE STILL PERFECTLY WORKING (MORE ON THIS BELOW) AND YOU EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX WITH THIS OFFERING. RDER W ITH B OX. I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 + DECADES! WHAT I DID BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WAS TO TEST THESE NEW ADDITIONS, MESS AROUND WITH THEM, REMOVE THE BATTERIES (IF APPLICABLE) AND STACK THEM UP IN A FEW OF MY CLOSETS IN MY PARENTS HOME.

I THEN MOVED ON TO MY NEXT PROJECT! I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MY DAD WORK FOR A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC BACK IN THE 50'S THROUGH THE'90'S. THIS MODEL HERE WAS BROUGHT HOME AFTER ONE OF HIS MANY "TABLE-TOP" SHOWS IN NYC. HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS 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 TIN , BATTERY POWERED DAIYA GANTRY CRANE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! THIS MODEL HAS A VERY, VERY STRONG, ORIGINAL ELECTRIC ENGINE!

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS IN ALL AROUND VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE /CONDITION, BUT DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES FROM USAGE/PLAY WEAR. THE ENTIRE CHASSIS IN WHICH THE FOUR (4) LEGS LOCK INTO IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND HAS NO CRACKS, BREAKS OR REPAIRS. THE BODY OF THIS GANTRY CRANE IS IN SHOWCASE OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. YOU HAVE NO DINGS, DENTS, RUST OR CORROSION ON THIS FULLY TIN BODY.

THE GRAPHICS ARE HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY. ALL OF THE OTHER LETTERING ON THIS GANTRY CRANE ARE DECALS AND ALL ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL. THESE DECALS ARE STILL ORIGINALLY ATTACHED AND THE ADHESIVE HAS NOT BLED THROUGH. ONCE AGAIN, THE CHASSIS IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE! YOU DO HAVE SOME PLAY WEAR WHICH IS LESS THAN CONSISTENT WITH THE MODELS AGE.

YOU HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT OR ANY OF THE BATTERY CONTACTS AS THESE ARE CLEAR OF ANY CORROSION OR RUST. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. YOU HAVE A VERY SLIGHT DEPRESSION ON THE LID AS THIS BOX ONCE FOUND ITSELF IN THE UPPER LOCATION WITHIN ONE OF MY MANY TOWERS OF TOYS!

THE ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERT IS ALSO INCLUDED AND HOLDS THE CRANE NICELY INTO POSITION. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT THE OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE OF THIS CRANE IS VS. ALSO NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A VITAL PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND LISTING.

THIS CRANE IS SIMPLE TO OPERATE AND USE. YOU CAN MANUALLY ADJUST THEM TILT ARM AND THEN BUCKET AUTOMATICALLY OPENS AND CLOSES AS IT'S BEING DRAWN EITHER UP OR DOWN. YOU HAVE A NICE "POWER" LEVER TO CONTROL THIS ACTION.

THIS CRANE TAKES TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). IT IS MOVED AROUND BY PUSHING IT AS ALL OF THE FOUR (4) WHEEL SPIN FREELY.

THE CABIN ALSO SPINS AROUND 360 DEGREES. 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!

ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THIS IS EXAC TLY WHAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING 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! THIS VINTAGE, RARE, FULLY WORKING, TIN DAIYA "GANTRY CRANE" IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND OF A TIME THAT HAS PASSED US BY! THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! A GOLD T/RATED PSELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND.

AS OF THIS DATE, I HAVE ACHIEVED T/RATED STATUS ON THIS STORE AS WELL. I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. THIS VINTAGE DIAYA GANTRY CRANE. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN'S WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR NATURE.
