This would be a great addition to any collection. It's pretty cool and takes me back to my childhood.  The cord is not the original cord, and this is how it has been since I picked it up. The light works as seen in the photo. The button doesn't work to turn it on and off.  I hope you get the same enjoyment as I have had with quite a few conversations that have come from this.  I will ship it as I would want to receive it.
