They becoming quite scarce. > I wasn't planing on throwing it away. Just wondered if anyone had had success repairing them. My next step is to pull it out and take it apart and clean it, and solder any places that look suspicious. This car has sat for at least a couple years. I have seen them go on ebay for over $100 dollars. I wish I had a dollar for everyone that I HAVE thrown away. That was back when a new one was less than $20, and you could still buy them.
