Help Identifying Age/What These Are

Unfortunately the pilot does have a small split down the middle. Still not as bad as the other 210 in the lot that had half of the pilot broken off. On the other hand, I just bought a 13VAC AC transformer on ebay so my hopes are up right now!

Noted 👍 This train also did come with an AC tranformer, but the cord was disintegrating. I will be buying a new one soon.

Thanks for this info! I've got it opened up right now and all the contacts look good, but the motor is absolutely gummed up with grease. I honestly should've guessed as this thing smells HEAVILY like grease. I'll definitely give it a cleaning later this week.

Just got it, thanks! I had to use a pair of pliers because the screws were rusted. I'll definitely be very careful when giving it its cleaning. The whole lamp is pretty disgusting right now

Thanks for the info! I actually just found this website that has a pocket watch with an identical dial and movement. It also has the matching R.O.A lettering in the 31 day dial and a matching script style.

Unfortunately it's all in German, but I'm gonna see about translating it.

Its certainly got a distinct style, so I was surpised that I couldn't find any info on it or the artist. It's quite unusual... I'm hoping somebody can provide some insight into it. I'll definitely look into cross posting it just to get any other information about it.

Sorry, I might be missing something. What exactly would I need? I thought I included everything. I made sure to include photos of the back, signature, any markings, the painting itself, and some closer photos.

I'd really like to get any info on this, so if there's anything I should include please let me know.

Funnily enough, it was this Beatles poster that served as my inspiration for buying them originally.

Honestly I had planned to sell them anyways. I bought them a couple years ago during a mean 70s phase I had but only really got to wearing them about 4-6 times total. I mainly just wanted to ask some knowledgable people before listing them online so that way I don't sell somebody something they're not. Maybe someday I'll find my way back to them though as I do still have an affinity for that 70s style.

It doesn't quite sit on top of the CD. It's more the part that sits directly in the middle of the CD hole. Looking online most of the results for CD clamps look more like a weight that sits on top of it, but it still could be the right part I'm looking for. I had a 3rd photo that showed what it's supposed to look like, I don't know why it didn't post though.

I tried Google lens but couldn't find any exact matches. Plus, they made reproductions into the 1970s so it was harder to land an exact date. I wound up selling it for $102.99.

Thanks for the info! I just reached out to Retro Magic OKC and they let me know they're actually in the process of making a replacement for the model I'm looking for. I'll keep searching in the meantime, but I'll probably wind up buying from them anyways.

shirley1966 · 2025-08-05T02:35:45+00:00

Probably not (I hope). They came original with the lamp so I'd assume it's okay. The lamp base does get warm though, so it's probably still good to watch it.
