Playskool Motoring (Des Peres)

Playskool Motoring track and cars from mid-80s. The cars don't work! You can find listings for this toy on eBay, but none of them have working cars either. I'm pretty sure all the track is here.

The cars are battery operated, and the contacts (per the pictures) are a little corroded, though not as badly as the picture looks. I think the cars can be repaired with the addition of a new motor, which can be purchased at a hobby store (1.5 v - 3v DC model). As a matter of fact, I did buy a new motor for the red car, but it is hard to pry the car apart to get to the motor, and the wires (which are very small) need to be soldered. Perhaps someone with better deconstruction and engineering skills can get the cars back to working condition. My kids loved this way back when, hence I kept it for my grandkids, but I'm hoping someone else can resurrect it for their use. If you just want to try and sell it on eBay, best wishes for that.

In any case, if interested, let me know when you could pick up and I'll send my address and put it on my front porch for you. I live a mile west of 270 between Manchester and Dougherty Ferry Roads.
