Even though these have excessive tarnish it is simple to clean them and make them look and work as good as new. We can save these barn find vintage HO slot cars by giving them their first wash in fifty years.
Barn Find 1972 Opel 1900 Sedan (aka Ascona) 19,900 miles Preserved & Runs
Просмотров 36Месяц назад
This 1972 Opel 1900 has been well preserved for over 50 years. These affordable cars were made by GM and sold rather unenthusiastically at Buick dealers. It is rare to see one today especially so well preserved. I forgot to show it starting & running.

    Tip for anyone who sees this and wants to make your cars run very even and not wanting to buy a lot of performance parts to do so. Get 4 or more chassis that run fairly close to one another. Check the armature ohms if you have a meter- 16 + or 17+ ohms will be your best. Then check all tolerances and parts fitments, then obtain more idler gears (Aurora AFX or T-jets) and AFX magnets(they come in all strengths so best to measure the strength of each regardless of colors) and begin the process of swapping parts (first the magnets and idler gears {the black AFX(non mag) and TUFF ONES idler gears are preferred} and if you have just one it will be a good base test gear, but some of the brass do well also(mark them diff colors to know which is which good/fast, medium or bad/slow) -- and then you can buy very nice idlers from DASH which are very inexpensive, one of the best and congruent in performance) .. and now running two chassis together in front of one another and swap parts to see if they get to be about the same speed at higher speeds(they may and most likely will be different at slower speed . also using the same size and brand silicone tires. Enjoy -Slot on !

    Yeah Well , I Thank You For The Idea . Not Everyone Can Afford What The Other Controllers Cost ! Plus I Too Have Big Size Hands . I'm Running Autoworld Cars on A Older Tyco Track They Run Perfect. But The Controllers Are Small . So If I Find the Older AFX Aurora Controllers Cheap Enough. I Will Try This . Do the Tyco Have The Same Resistors As The 120 Ohm New Aurora AFX ? Anyways Whatever the Resistance is In My Controller is Perfect. Just Would Also Like The Old Size Controller.

    • @nitromancer6460
      @nitromancer6460 20 дней назад

      @wayneo7307 I apologize for the late reply but I just noticed your comment. I think if you find the Aurora “RussKit” controllers that are yellow and are the ones that use screws to hold them together you’ll be pretty pleased with them. Note: the ones without screws are smaller like your Tycos. The yellow ones are typically 45 ohms which will work well with Auto World cars. An adjustable voltage power supply is also a nice upgrade, it allows you to tune the speed of your cars to the size of your track and skill of your racers.

You forgot to check pick up shoe wear and correct if necessary, and clean them with pink eraser.

    Lovely looking car imo, but the cam in head engine is a slug. The chassis rails are very close together so getting a v8 in is very tight, a straight six would be a better option. The gearbox is tiny and so is the tunnel and the back axle is an oddball too. Do your research before you decide to hot rod a manta A would be my advice.
