I've been photographing the insides of some Century 21 Toys Project SWORD toys for a reader.
One was the fabulous Zero-X.
Here's the outer box.
The inner packaging.
The contents [not original inner packaging].
The white Supremo badge in its tissue.
The inside of the MEV.
The workings of the motor.
This long metal piece with a black plug popped out. Its attached to a wire. Unsure what it is.
The same for this long strip with an eye hole. Again wired. No idea what this is. It maybe linked to the above.
There's also a hole on the inside and a corresponding hole on the baseplate beneath the top left screw. What's that for? oil?
Any ideas?
I wonder if those wired bits are a way of getting the engine lights to flash by using the rotation of the motor in some way?
ReplyDeleteCould well be Kev. Have you got one?
DeleteI have, actually, I've got two main bodies! I made a remote for the second one, it still works.
DeleteWow! How did you make a remote Kev?
DeleteComponent box with battery clips inside, a two-way switch, and I made a plug by narrowing one that I already had. It doesn't look the part (it's just a black box), but it works.
ReplyDeleteDamn clever that!
DeleteHow weird! they are wired up and look like a contact of some sort ...are there possibly cams on some wheels?
ReplyDeleteI wonder of they came loose when I opened the motor unit?
