From “Old Things Never Die”:

The seller told me that he didn’t know if it worked but by disassembling it, I had the bad surprise to discover it had already been modified before. The engine was missing and the bulbs no longer worked. It took me a month to restore but it was worth it, watch till the end to see this beautiful old toy in action.
