That is AWESOME. I would have done the same thing if I had this at a young age. My sister had a downstairs bedroom, with this super long closet that she only used a portion of at one end. 3/4s of this long closet was empty, and it ended with a door that went to a storage crawlspace. Perfect "fuselage". I put my Deluxe Reading Jimmy Jet a few feet from that door, and flew my airplane, firing my missiles at the door, which were other aircraft. If I had to "bail out" I crawled to the other end, and jumped out a door. The imaginative mind filled it all in for these kinds of missions!

I had one of these too. My parents took very good care of us on Christmas and birthdays. I remember a kid from school came over and for some reason picked it up by both handles and hit me on top of the head with it. Hurt like hell!!!. My mother said "George, it's time for you to go home now" He never came back either. I still remember how that felt on my head.

Thank you my friend. I have several things cooking. One, is my Estes rocket collection, and rebuilding/finishing kits from long ago, and some new ones. I will be showing my tubing cutting techniques (something I was never good at until later), painting, etc. But mostly a walk down memory lane for rocketeers from the 60s and 70s. I have ALOT of really twisted stuff. Also, a late 50s early 60s battery powered crane, battery operated smoking Japanese train from 1967 and some other things on the horizon. Profiling some different 1960s programmable vehicles too, you may be interested in.

I'm looking for a vintage horse racing game from the 60's where you had to put a marble through a hole by hitting a lever (like Gnip-Gnop) to make your horse advance. The person who could shoot their marble through the whole the most and the fastest would get their horse to the finish line first and win! Don't remember what it was called but I don't see anything about it on the internet.

This toy must of come out during Christmas of 1962-63 because that is when I remember getting one , back in those days major U.S. toy manufacturers would run television commercials featuring there latest toys and that is probably why I convinced my parents to buy this particular toy for me. This toy was so memorable because of its large size, other memorable toys that I had from that era were as follows, 1962 deluxe reading Jimmy Jet, Tonka steel trucks, Arura race car set, 1963 Ideal Gaylord which was a huge plastic motorized dog that would walk, the motor was turned on by pulling the toys leash. I have repurchased all of these toys on E-bay over the years, my Dick Tracy copmobile has the original box control wand and black plastic microphone.

I had one and I only had 3 cartridges,but it was my favorite toy. I recall that rhe bulb burnt out and it was a one of a kind bulb at the time. It seemed to me that my father took me to 100 stores to find the right bulb. Sometimes we would get a bulb that lasted a very short time, maybe an hour and burnt out quickly.
