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
P. NIEDERMEIER LUNAR ORBITER
IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS
P. NIEDERMEIER RIP-CORD POWERED SPACE STATION
IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC FOR IT'S STRENGTH AND LIGHTWEIGHT NEEDED TO FLY.
THIS
LUNAR ORBITER HAS FULLY FLIGHT TESTED AND IS IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL CONDITION.
THIS NASA LUNA ORBITER HAS NEVER LEFT IT'S BOX UNTIL THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN. DECADES AGO, I DO RECALL USING THESE AS A CHILD. MY DAD HAD A BOX FULL OF THEM AS HE ONCE WORKED FOR A TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NYC.
THE DISC MEASURES ABOUT 7 INCHES IN DIAMETER (18CM).
THESE LUNAR ORBITER WORK ON THE RIP-CORD PRINCIPAL AND HERE YOU HAVE A RIP-CORD WHICH IS STILL UNUSED TO THIS DAY!
TO USE, YOU SIMPLY PLACE THE PLASTIC NASA LUNAR ORBITER (RED) ONTO THE HANDEL (YELLOW) AND THEN YOU FEED THE RIP-CORD THROUGH THE TINY WINDOW WHICH SHOWS YOU THE INTERNAL GEAR. THEN YOU HOLD THE YELLOW HANDEL IN ONE HAND AND GRAB THE END OF THE RIP-CORD IN THE OTHER AND PULL THE RIP-CORD END RAPIDLY.
THE NASA LUNAR ORBITER WILL LIFT OFF OF THE YELLOW HANDEL AND FLY UPWARDS TILL THE ENERGY STARTS TO DIMINISH AND THEN THE LUNAR ORBITER WILL SLOWLY START TO DESCEND DOWNWARDS TILL IT LANDS. HERE YOU MUST PLACE THE CORD ON THE CORRECT SIDE OR YOU WILL BE ENABLING IT TO FLY DOWNWARDS WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT IT WOULD NOT FLY OFF OF THE HAND HELD HANDEL. THIS WOULD BE WITH THE HANDEL IN YOUR LEFT HAND THE RIP CORD WOULD BE ON THE OUTSIDE OR RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE CENTER.
THIS ART. 320 HAS NEVER BEEN USED AND JUST TESTED ONCE OUTDOORS. THIS HAS BEEN DONE TO VERIFY THE FACT THAT IT IS FULLY OPERATIONAL.
THIS ART. 320 COMES IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX. HERE YOU HAVE A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE ORIGINAL BOX THAT HAS NO ADDED TAPE OR GLUE. ALL OF THE SMALLER INNER FLAPS ARE STILL ORIGINALLY ATTACHED. YOU DO HAVE THE LID AS INDENTED AS THIS ONCE HAD OTHER BOXES PILED ON TOP OF IT. YOU ALSO HAVE A SMALL TEAR IN TEH FAR BACK RIGHT CORNER. YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR GLUE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS BOX.
THE INSERT IS AS NEW AND ORIGINAL TO THIS ITEM.
I DO ASK THAT YOU INSPECT MY PICTURES THOROUGHLY AS THESE DO BECOME A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION HERE! IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE ANY PARTICULAR AREA OR FEATURE CLOSE UP, SIMPLY CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU'D LIKE TO SEE MORE OF AND I'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE!
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO, OR A SIMPLE PUSH TO SEE IF THE FRICTION DRIVE IS WORKING!  I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS P.
NIEDERMEIER ART. 320
LUNAR ORBITER IS TESTED AND IS GUARANTEED TO BE IN OPERATIONAL SHAPE/CONDITION UPON IT'S ARRIVAL TO YOU.
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.
ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BE VERY, VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER
P. NIEDERMEIER LUNAR ORBITER'S
THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX
(IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION), INSERT AND ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS AND
NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED AND PROUD TO ADD TO THEIR PRIVATE COLLECTION!!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES 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!

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

NCE!
