Hi, I was at a family function on Christmas Day and we got talking about Drones. My family member recalled his 'drone'. Its a wonderful little game where the operator has control of two dials that control the speed of the helicopter's rotors. By adjusting the rotors correctly, you can swing the helicopter down and pick up the 'cargo'.
1st photo. off
2nd photo. going (see dial positions have changed, rotors are moving)
Pro's - it still works! (just needed to clean the contacts)
Con's - the Eveready Energizer D cells may not have been considered back then and they are too heavy, even with the counter weight adjusted to the maximum. Need the standard D cell batteries.
Top of the carboard box is lost. Bottom of the box intact. Everything just says "Made In Japan". No clues to manufacturer or year unfortunately.
Just thought I'd share this little gem.
Ken
