199 - Helicopter Remote Control |
|||
| plastic play scene with
helicopter, 2 clockworks, by means of two levers vertical and horizontal
control possible, hook underneath the helicopter to pick up a truck
(included). The
"base station" is the same as used at the
120
Sky Rocket. I do not have any information about this game regarding
date of production or prices. At least it appears on page 3 in the
1968
novelties - but NOT marked as such. Either red or bright green
plastic caps on the control levers. Novelty 1967 - available until 1969 Seize: 360 x 250 x 75 mm |

Version 1: The clockwork key is placed to right side of the control levers. The left lever control the altitude - the other one the forward movement (ONLY forward movement possible). The Rotor is red or orange. D.B.P. is printed left below the altitude lever - the "Biller-B" right of the movement lever. The inscription D.B.G.M. ABROAD PATENT PENDING MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY is printed on the bottom front of this game |

Obviously this toy was bad designed. Trying to use the hook will fail because this version only moves anticlockwise. Also the movement lever flips back to "move" position - even though it should flip back to "Stop" position. Possibly a spring was hooked-in in a false manner - but this must have been factory wise - this game has never been opened so far. |

Version 2:
The clockwork key is situated between the control levers. Left lever controls altitude - right lever lets the helicopter fly forward OR backwards. The rotor is red, orange or yellow - the landscape now shows 2 small hollows just above the truck-ramp on the right side. The truck could be placed in there without moving away while the helicopter flies backwards in order to pick up the truck. The "Biller-B" is now printed to upper right side of the movement lever - D.B.P. and D.B.G.M. ABROAD PATENT PENDING MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY is now printed on the right bottom surrounding of the landscape. |
