THIS "JOURNEY TO THE MOON" IS A REALLY COOL MODEL/TOY TO USE AND WATCH! IT'S SIMPLE TO OPERATE AND THESE ARE IT'S KEY FEATURES:
1.) EASY TO ASSEMBLE PLASTIC AND TIN OVAL TRACK IN EXCESS OF THREE FEET LONG,
2.) BATTERY OPERATED PLASTIC COMMAND MODULE,
3.)
THE COMMAND MODULE CIRCLES THE MOON ROTATING THE TIN DOME
,
4.)
THE COMMAND MODULE DOES A FULL 360 DEGREE TURN ON THE TRACK,
5.) THE COMMAND MODULE CIRCLES THE SPACE STATION ALSO ROTATING IT,
6.) THE COMMAND MODULE HAS A UNIQUE OVER AND UNDER ACTION,
7.) THE TRACK CLICKS TOGETHER FIRMLY AND QUICKLY (IN JUST A FEW MINUTES),
8.) BATTERY POWERED (USES 2 SIZE "AA" BATTERIES, NOT INCLUDED) AND
9.) HAS CONVENIENT WORKING "ON/OFF" SWITCH ON THE COMMAND MODULE.
THIS COOL PLASTIC AND TIN
"JOURNEY TO THE MOON
" TAKES TWO (2) SIZE "AA" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). WHEN THESE ARE PLACED INTO IT'S BATTERY COMPARTMENT WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE TOP AND REAR OF THE COMMAND MODULE, THIS IS DONE BY REMOVING THE TINY SET SCREW IN THE REAR OF THE COMMAND MODULE. ONCE REMOVED, THIS ALLOWS YOU ACCESS TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT TO INSTALL THE BATTERIES. REVERSE THE PROCESS TO SEAL IT UP AND PREPARE IT FOR IT'S LONG JOURNEY.
THE BASE AND TRACK OF THIS
"JOURNEY TO THE MOON"
IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT ALL AROUND CONDITION. YOU HAVE NO RUST, PITS, DINGS OR CORROSION ANYWHERE ON THE TRACK OR ON ANY OF THE METAL OBJECTS. THE SOLE ISSUE WOULD BE THAT THE CENTER TRACK SECTION (THE ONE THAT TWISTS) AT ONE TIME HAD A BROKEN TAB ON ONE END. I HAVE PERSONALLY REPAIRED THE TAB TO NEW SPECIFICATIONS. IN OTHER WORDS, IT SLIDES IN AND LOCKS AS IT SHOULD. THE BEAUTY IS THE YELLOW RINGS, WHICH SUPPORT THIS TRACK, LOCK THE TRACK SECTIONS TOGETHER. THESES ARE ORIGINAL AND HAVE SUFFERED NO DAMAGE AT ALL. THEY WORK PERFECTLY AND HOLD ALL SECTIONS OF THE TRACK FIRMLY, LEVEL AND TIGHTLY TOGETHER. THE BALANCE OF THE PLASTIC SECTIONS HAVE NO STRESS CRACKS OR BUSTED TABS.... AS NOTED ON THE BOX, ALL OF THE ORIGINALLY INCLUDED ITEMS ARE PRESENT.
THE COMMAND MODULE ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL. THIS DOES SHOW SOME LIGHT WEAR AS THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED WITH MANY DECADES AGO. KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT REPRESENTING THIS AS A NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) ITEM, BUT A USED TOY THAT WAS CHERISHED AND NEVER ABUSED .... AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, FULLY OPERATIONAL!! THE WHITE PLASTIC COVER IS INTACT AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE/CONDITION WITH NO CRACKS OR BREAKS. THE WHITE TOP SECTION OF THE COMMAND MODULE HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY MODIFIED SO IT STAYS TOGETHER THROUGHOUT ITS LAPS (AS IT DOES DRIVE UPSIDE DOWN AS WELL). I HAVE PLACED A "SET" SCREW ON THE COMMAND MODULE WHICH HOLDS THE TWO HALF'S TIGHTLY TOGETHER. THIS METHOD IS BY FAR SUPERIOR TO WHAT YONEZAWA ORIGINALLY DESIGNED.
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IN THE COMMAND MODULE IS RUST AND CORROSION FREE. IN ADDITION, ON THE SIDE OF THE COMMAND MODULE YOU HAVE A SLIDE LEVER WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO PLACE THE COMMAND MODULE ON THE TRACK WITH EASE. YOU MUST SLIDE THIS LEVER TO THE RIGHT (OR POSITION "B") TO LOCK IT ONTO THE TRACK, AS SO SHOWN ON THE BOX. THE MAIN "ON/OFF" SWITCH IS LOCATED CENTER REAR WITHIN THE TRANSLUCENT RED THRUSHER SHIELD.
PLEASE ASSEMBLE THE TRACK AS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATION ON THE LID'S SIDE PANELS. ONCE COMPLETED YOU ARE NOW READY TO PLACE THE COMMAND MODULE ON THE TRACK. PLEASE PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE FOUR YELLOW SEMICIRCULAR BRACKETS. AS THESE LOCK IN THE TRACK SECTION TO THE ENDS MAKING IT SECURE AND READY FOR USE. IN ADDITION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE BLUE BASE WHICH THE MOON'S UPRIGHT BRACKETS ARE PLACED ALLOWS THE TWO (2) UPRIGHT BRACKETS TO SLIDE IN ONLY ONE WAY AND HAS BUILT-IN "STOPS" WHICH PREVENTS THESE UPRIGHT BRACKETS FROM SLIDING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THIS CORRECTLY ALIGNED NOT ONLY TO THE BASE, BUT TO THE UPRIGHT BRACKETS AS WELL SO THE MOON CAN BE PLACED BETWEEN THESE UPRIGHT BRACKETS.
THIS
"JOURNEY TO THE MOON"
IS COMPLETE AND WORKS WITHOUT ISSUES. IT TAKES AROUND FIVE (5) MINUTES TO PUT THIS WHOLE THING TOGETHER. AND ONCE IT'S TOGETHER AS PICTURED AND DESCRIBED WITH IT'S INSTRUCTIONS, YOU PLACE THE COMPLETED OVAL TRACK DOWN ON ANY HARD AND LEVEL SURFACE. THE TRACK CAN BE LIFTED UP AND MOVED, BUT AGAIN, CARE MUST BE GIVEN WHEN DOING THE MOVE. IT ALL GETS EASIER ONCE THE TRACK IS ASSEMBLED AND IN FRONT OF YOU.
NOW YOU PLACE THE COMMAND MODULE ONTO THE TRACK AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, MAKING SURE THAT YOU "LOCK" THE COMMAND MODULE INTO PLACE (SEE SIDE PANEL FOR DETAILED ILLUSTRATION), NOW YOU SIMPLY SWITCH IT TO "ON" AND ENJOY ALL OF THE VISUAL EFFECTS. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 SECONDS TO COMPLETE ONE FULL LAP AND IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL YOU POWER DOWN THE COMMAND MODULE.
THE BOX HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS. YOU HAVE MULTIPLE TEARS, TWO BUSTED CORNERS, AND A SMALL SECTION MISSING ON THE LID ITSELF. NO TAPE OR GLUE HAS BEEN ADDED ANYWHERE ON THE LID (ALTHOUGH IT COULD USE SOME) AND THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL SHARP AND CLEAN. YOU ALSO HAVE SOME ADDED BUBBLE WRAP THAT I PLACED IN HERE A FEW YEARS AGO TO KEEP THE CONTENTS SAFE.
THE BASE OF THE BOX DOES HAVE TWO PIECES OF TAPE ON ONE OF THE CORNERS AND THE
CORRUGATED
ITSELF HAS STARTED TO COME UNGLUED INTERNALLY AS THE GLUE HAS STARTED TO FAIL. THE INSERTS ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS MODEL.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES, AS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME AND THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A KEY PART OF MY DESCRIPTION. IF YOU'D LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR PHOTOS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME AND I'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
I DO HAVE A
SHORT VIDEO
OF THE COMMAND MODULE DOING MULTIPLE LAPS ..... I DO NOT KNOW IF EBAY WILL ALLOW ME TO SEND THIS TO YOU VIA THEIR MESSAGING SERVICE, BUT WE CAN TRY! SO PLEASE REQUEST TO VIEW THE VIDEO I MADE OF THIS COOL "SPACE TOY" IN ACTION!

BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY.... THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EXEMPTIONS!  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 AND AS IS". THIS
"JOURNEY TO THE MOON"
BY YONEZAWA IS FULLY TESTED AND I SEE NO NEED TO RETEST THIS AGAIN AS IT PERFORMED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL FEATURES FLAWLESSLY.
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.

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.
