Very clean toy. Has been in storage for years. I put 3 "C" batteres in and nothing happened. I shook it and the light came on, the wheels turned, the antina turned and the blower came on. It ran for a short time and I had to shake it again to keep it running. The original toy came with a styrofome ball that would hover over the toy when it ran. The styrofoam ball is missing and I have placed a plastic ball on the toy for display. SOLD AS IS.
