1980 Chinese Tin Batt. Op. Universe Boat Boxed Space Ship Toy - This near new-old-stock Universe Boat battery-operated spaceship comes wonderfully intact with its highly graphic dual-language original box. Cataloged as Model No. ME-767 and marked with ”gyroaction, ” ”gyrostat, ” and vehicular spatial graphics, the striking blue and white lithographed tin vessel features a large white illuminated plastic radar dome on the bow, a spinning dual-dish communication antenna, dynamic red body fins, and a translucent multi-colored internal lighting bay on the upper deck. The battery-operated mechanism was tested during cataloging and found to be working, with the drive wheels spinning smoothly, internal lights illuminating brightly, and the top radar tracking assembly rotating properly upon activation. The undercarriage battery compartment remains exceptionally clean and free of visible corrosion. The spaceship measures approximately 10” L. Condition: EXCELLENT
