T.N. Radar Robot "Topalino" with box lithographed tin and plastic, battery operated, an extremely scare and desirable robot in amazing condition - brilliant lithography; among the later desirable robots, Topalino is one of the toughest to find - a real gem! box 12"t.
excellent to like new (the originnal battery box on in this robot was cracked and and a duplicate batterty box from another robot by the sam manufacturer was installed - in the process 2 additional metal tabs were inserted in the rear of the battery case for stability - the cardboard box has small area of litho damage to face, creasing to bottom and lid, pencil marks) * A special note regarding operation of battery operated toys. We have tested most of the battery toys here offered and if a toy is not listed as not working you can assume that we tested it and it functioned. We have noted those toys that did not work and those newer toys that we did not test since it might disturb the original packing. Due to the inherent occasional balky nature of 40 or 50 year old battery toys we can not guarantee that a toy that worked for us during cataloging will work after it is purchased. But if it was listed as functional and it then stops, the toy should be fairly easy to have functionality restored by craftsmen such as Joe Freeman of Tin Toy Works in Allentown, PA ImagesClick on thumbnails to see larger images:
