I bought this back in the 1970's at a yard sale. The 70's was a great time to buy vintage toys. All the mothers were selling their kids stuff from the 50's and 60's. He used to work but sitting in a closet for 40 years didn't help the electronics. The brass battery connector has been repaired. The rivet came out and it was glued back in place. I took a close up of it. I don't have the helmet and you can see from the photos that there is some wear. It's still a nice looking piece.
