RE: Stuff I Got For Christmas 1975 - VertiBird Air Police
Mechanically, everything is intact and should work. The electric motor in the base station seems to be burned out. It could be replaced. I think this post has motivated me to get it done. Another possibility would be to buy the entire toy on eBay. They are definitely available, but pretty expensive. I'm considering it.
I would try to get the engine fixed - must be cheaper.
Update: I bought a functional Vertibird Air Police on eBay for $125. It's been sitting in the box in my basement for a few weeks. It is comforting just knowing I have it. I'll crack it open one of these days.
I figure when you are thinking about something like this, don't delay. Life is too short. Get 'er done.
Hi, nice of you to remember our conversation and updating me - good to hear you've got a functional one!
