THIS MODEL IS ALSO A KIT OF SORTS
. NO MAJOR WORK IS REQUIRED, BUT, IT OFFERS THE
YOUNGSTERS A CHANCE TO TEST THEIR SKILLS WITH WHEEL INSTALLATION AND STEERING WHEEL
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
.
IN ADDITION TO THE BARE METAL STUDIO CLOCKWORK CAR HERE, YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE A BEAUTIFUL AND FULLY OPERATIONAL MOON PHASE CHRONOGRAPH WATCH WITH A GENUINE LEATHER WATCH BAND. THIS PAST WEEKEND (FEBRUARY 15TH), I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE WATCH AND RAN IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS (ON MY COMPUTER DESK), IT WORKED PERFECTLY. NOW, AS I DO WITH ALL OF MY WATCHES THAT I DO NOT WEAR, I PULL OUT THE CROWN WHICH WILL DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND STOP IT FROM DISCHARGING AND I PLACED IT BACK INTO IT'S STORAGE POSITION WITHIN THE ORIGINAL BOX.
KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM REPRESENTING THIS 1999 GRAND PRIX SET AS TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). THE WATCH, AS WITH THE CAR, HAS NEVER BEEN USED OR PLACED ON DISPLAY. ALL THAT YOU SEE PICTURED IS 100% ORIGINAL, UNUSED AND AS NEW!
THE WATCH IS A CHRONOGRAPH WATCH WHICH HAS THE CLOCKED SPEED ON THE OUTER RING OF THE FACE. THE THREE SMALLER INNER RINGS DO THE FOLLOWING .... ONE HAS 10TH SECONDS ANOTHER HAS FULL SECONDS AND THE DIAL LOCATED AT THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION HAS FULL MINUTES. IN ADDITION TO THESE FUNCTIONS, THE WATCH IS ALSO A FULL FLEDGED "MOON PHASE" WATCH WHICH SHOWS YOU THE PHASES OF THE MOON AT ANY GIVEN TIME! PRETTY COOL!! THESE WATCHES ARE INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED AND LIMITED TO 1999 UNITS/PIECES. THE WATCH HERE IS 1868/1999 (AS SO PICTURED).
I HAVE HAD THIS 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
HAD
THIS SCHUCO
LIMITED EDITION STUDIO III SET
IN MY POSSESSION
SINCE NEW AND
NOW AND I HAVE DECIDED TO START SELLING OFF MY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE/VINTAGE MODELS, TRAINS, PLANES, BOATS, ECT.....
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, TIN BARE METAL SCHUCO LIMITED EDITION 1999 SET WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN
EXCELLENT
CONDITION/SHAPE. THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE IS ALSO PRESENT AND DOES HAVE SOME VERY SMALL SIGNS OF SHELF WEAR.
THE GRAPHICS ARE ALL CLEAR AND FULLY
LEGIBLE
AND IN M
ULTI
-
LANGUAGES.
THE INSIDE IS CUSTOM DESIGNED/MADE AND HOLDS THE 4 WHEELS, 3 HAND TOOLS, THE CLOCKWORK WINDING CRANK (KEY), VEHICLE JACK (ATTACHED TO THIS IS THE NUT TO HOLD IN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH AN EXTRA SHAFT), STEERING WHEEL, CENTER CAPS, VEHICLE AND THE WATCH. YOU ALSO HAVE THE O
RIGINAL
"ZERTIFIKAT" STATING THIS SET/KIT WAS MADE IN CALENDAR YEAR 1999 AND HAS BEEN LIMITED TO ONLY 1999 EXAMPLES.
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 THE TIRES FROM THE WHEELS.
YOU NEED TO PLACE THE STEERING WHEEL INTO PLACE AND HERE YOU USE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
DOUBLE
WRENCH TO
ACCOMPLISH THIS
TASK
. ONCE AGAIN, THE SM
ALL NUT IS IN THE SEALED BAG WITH THE EXTRA STEERING SHAFT, YOU ALSO HAVE AN EXTRA NUT (IN CASE YOU MISPLACE ONE) WHICH IS AFFIXED TO THE JACK.
THIS MODEL HAS A VERY UNIQUE CLOCKWORK MOTOR. YOU CAN USE THE COOL 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.
AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS MODEL DOES NEED SOME SIMPLY ASSEMBLY AND 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
! THIS EXAMPLE HAS NEVER BEEN ASSEMBLED!
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, BUT BOX RASH IS A COMMON THREAT WITH NOS ITEMS! EVEN THOUGH I SEE NO CONCERNS, I MUST POINT THIS OUT ... JUST IN CASE YOU DO!
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 STUDIO III 1999 LIMITED EDITION SET/KIT WILL NOT NEED TO BE TESTED AS I DO KNOW IT'S WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL

FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS WILL BE SENT VIA EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM" (GSP). IF YOU AS AN INTERNATIONAL BUYER HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH USING THIS "PROGRAM" PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN~INS WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS WHO, BY THEIR VERY NATURE, DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS AND MAKE UP THE RULES AS THEY GO ALONG. BY UTILIZING EBAY'S GSP, IT HAS CERTAIN BENEFITS AND DOES OFFER SOME PROTECTION TO "WE THE SELLERS" FROM FOLKS WITH THIS ATTITUDE/OUTLOOK.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL HAVE TO INSURE THIS PARCEL FOR ITS SELLING PRICE. AS SUCH, IT MUST BE DECLARED FOR ITS SELLING VALUE. YOU CAN NOT DECLARE AN ITEM FOR .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND INSURE IT FOR 0.00, THIS IS SIMPLY JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

SO PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR THIS ON YOUR END!
IF YOU HAV
E ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS, I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU PASS ON THIS AS I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYER WHO DOES NOT TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT, YET TAKES THE TIME TO LEAVE BADLY PLACED FEEDBACK DU
E TO THEIR IGNORA
NCE!
I ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE POSTAGE STAMP ONCE YOU RECEIVE THE PARCEL FROM ME (IF I DO SEND IT DIRECTLY YOU). I MAKE NO MONEY ON THE POSTAGE AND IN FACT, THIS USUALLY END
S UP COSTING ME
MONEY! BUT, IF YOU OVER-PAY BY ONE DOLLAR OR MORE, I ALWAYS INSTANTLY REFUND 100% OF THE
DIFFERENCE
WITH OUT EVER HAVING TO BE ASKED!
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.
