AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
TechnoFIX Lot
"Apollo 333". Mechanical space game in tin, produced in West Germany between the late 1960s and the early 1970s, inspired by the Apollo missions to the Moon. "Working".
Tin base depicting the Earth and the Moon, in excellent condition, with vivid colors, with no trace of rust, marks, or scratches. Apollo module, with perfect lettering, wind-up with the "original" key. Movements in a figure eight around the two planets, with buttons that allow selecting the orbit. Given the years, the spark effect on the back of the moving vehicle is not present. Original packaging in good condition considering normal signs of wear.
"Shunting Loader 325". Mechanical tin game produced in West Germany in the 1960s. Tin base in excellent condition, with vivid colors and no trace of rust, marks, or scratches. Complete with original box, although somewhat worn by time, (photo). Unfortunately two coils are missing, (loading the freight car), and the wind-up locomotive with key (original) is blocked. This defect is very common in Technofix toys, and does not necessarily mean the mechanism is broken, and therefore it could also be repaired by an expert hand.
